Green Pastures Gone Brown

Green Pastures Gone Brown
David J Walker

The mood rises at the slight hint 
Of moisture on a far horizon 

Releasing
	Faint memories of a fabled rain

Memories of memories
Unable to describe

        the scent 
        of something
Long absent

Memories of temporality 
        pledged 
to a faceless clergy 

a Polyhistor’s explanation was
        the same

The mood falls 
with nights
         uncertain
         measures 

Green pastures 
gone brown
