We were always at our best
when staring into the abyss together,
And we drank wine and ate bread
for the last time together;
laughing a little,
crying a little
as the kettles were overturned
against us,
as our statues were pulled
to the ground.
We did not fear
the burning red skies,
lit by a thousand fires,
as the kettles became drums
beating out fresh charges
against us.
We did not feel fear,
but I do remember our pride…
We knew them as children,
they know us now as men.
The Properties of Dust
The Properties of Dust was a small book I put together in 2005 for a desktop publishing class at Portland State University. Many of these pieces were written specifically for the book project, and the rest date back to as early as 1990. The pieces were accompanied by a photo or two in the original book, but, in most cases, I am using different, more recent, photos with this series of posts.
