Back Again
by Leonard Burton
Not likely to occur without a push,
this masquerade of the little that is known,
mostly through is this façade of youth
lost to time, ether and rum.
Thought these things thoroughly through
made just enough in life to stay renewed.
What is negative space? A mentality?
Went to hell yesterday,
they call it Williston, North Dakota…
The first thing you see is fire on the horizon
then there is the overwhelming smell of sulfur in the air.
In the distance, mechanical monstrosities rend the earth.
It only gets worse the closer you get.
