Dreaming Beyond This Bottom Line
road into town
barren as the barrels
filled with rain
and the haunted hands
of our fathers tilling
fields without names
their bodies worn down
likes stones
tied to the earth
if one lifted their face into the light
just right they might imagine
it shined only for them
and in a better, kinder world
maybe it does.
