The Memory of Dust



Driving out of town on dusty roads edged by tawny grasses.
Farmlands once occupied, cultivated, not fields forgotten.
The deep red rich earth by oxen turned,
vegetables to feed a nation,
vistas to feed the soul.
The dust filled your nose and the creases of your clothes.
Before the rains it swirls in dust devils.
