A final rain
by scott c virtes
Friday, September 12, 2003

Save

Become a Fan

the future is always uncertain, until consumed

civilization
reduced to a stream of anecdotes
of yesterday clinging
to the bones of tomorrow

storybook jackals
choke down the sleeping remains
they run and they ramble

in the perfect silence
of the rain
on the plain
once known as Spain.
