The Evening Light Fixed Upon Some Unset Variables
It exists as a nation gathering above all other things, repetitive, clock-wise, and with a sing-song beat— and when the network fails its failure is ill-defined, unrecanted. Tragedy flows with a force quite regal and unrestricted, taking trees down the arroyo without care or remiss. But the land was familiar and once returned it blended the evening in a way you could again reveal to yourself: car thieves loitered in the draws among the willows and black cottonwoods, watching as you drove between the unyet loosened tumbleweeds— safe among the abstraction of your tribal numbers, yet still unable to escape the striking, or the plaintive lure. back | ToC | next » 4:
