8/10/10


a dry touch strokes the land
the wars continue
the fable of wealth is told again
and we believe it truly exists
behind its gates out of sight

(learning about dust and less
again
there are fables of this too
only where did we leave them?
this heat makes it hard to think 
even hard to see)

we need all the tales ever told
and fear they're lost or we
have gotten too old to remember
or else we're too young
to know what to do with them
if or when we find them
