Silver Reef By Karen Knudsen

    Dust.
The wind blows
The dust and
    Tumbleweeds
Signs
Doors
Shutters
    All creak in the wind
    Dust
on the tables
on the chairs
on the floors.
    Buildings
falling apart
hanging on
    To life.


The wind blows -
The town is alive.
People are shouting,
laughing, talking,
singing.
Sounds are all around
Horses, guns, wagons, people.
Smells.
Leather and liquor
Feelings.


    The Door
slowly creaks shut
in the wind.
    Shutting out
the Dreams
the Hopes
the Fears
    that built
This Town
As the Wind
    blows
everything to
    Dust.
