Cleaned Out
Clark Long
It’s hot in the city. The heat and smog seem claustrophobic in keeping a lid on hope
I’m wanting out
I use to love the bright sky, the heat and the rare cloud
Now there’s only distorted vision
I prefer the winter desert where long lost miners welcome star men to earth
And monks squeeze every last ounce of sin from their very own solar systems
Where yellowed newspapers blown against highway fence posts are faded of worry
