So Long

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

SO LONG Touch ground Walking Sounds echo behind - past neat See air Blowing Swirling memories - dissolve keep Hear dance Pounding Red desert dust feet - trample deep Beat rhythm Clocking Timeless rocks – clocked hand Waken waken up Commanding Sun-king burns – unchanging sand Blind girl Bleeding Stands dispossessed - her land. Her home - Her dreaming Too short to know Too long to forget Wanderer respect Souls touch Meeting Hearts-stone Melting Wishes Warmth Generously Sharing Too short to know Too long to forget Wanderer respect Cold red-soiled-sand Dealing Ace-of-hearts and kneeling Feelings felt Dance beating Dry dust powdered bone And dead dingo-dogs moan Go home Leave us alone Too short to know Too long to forget Wanderer respect Written April 17th, 2002 © on Apr 17 2002 12:14 AM PST   18 • 0 • 9
