Sunset and Sand

back

         drops

                   the walk of the herd.

Elephants on parade

for the picturesque view.  Panorama

and paranoia rule

this range, ruined by drought

and time.

                  To display emotion is

beneath them.  Their losses

are their own.  To remember,

they march . . . days . . . weeks . . . months

pass in silent . . . meditation?

Prayer?  Maybe

                          their movement

is the ideal.  Commemoration

through continuity.

What a thought to settle.  On

into night!
