Dark Cloud

On a deserted road Passed long ago; Forgotten... A loud cloud forms Deaf void of death Much like forgotten Faces lost in a hazy Patina in past's past Do fears become true? Forgotten,even you Like a kind of code A hawk cries up high And all is silent again Heat boils down low The sand near the sky Roils ghosts who sigh Buzzards circle; wait Fly over spit and hate! A small Reminders to us all As a heart beats faster Soaking in a memory Remembered, still... Clouds of thought are Tendrils on the wind Telling him he's a ghost Who walks into hell A mushroom cloud of silence This world doomed to violence
