A Desert Sky over Ballinasloe (part II)

Part 2 of 2

Moments later -

 

or is it days?

 

Speeding past mist

and sheep

white dots over green.

Lights like stars fade and blink,

fade again. Gone.

A ghost of houses.

 

Ancient trees hold fields

as the dim light

further falls.

 

Leaving only ideas of sheep,

houses, trees, walls, fields -

 

on our right, more slowly

the lady drops her colors

to the moon.
