Dawn.

The infinite blue sky and the barren land

Deafening crickets and crying crows

Another day, another fight

of survival in the land of no-one

What a lie!

Blue sky, brown land

To be in emptiness

Blue and brown and no where to go

Nothing in sight

just the line in the far distance

The man wiped his brow

Sweating swearing, spitting sand,

His skin leather ,his eyes, squinting, a cold blue

But she was right

He closed his eyes

Felt soft inside

Her ebony skin the deep set eyes

Her bare feet on the land, her land

But what would they say?

She couldn’t stay

A true blue stays in line

Coughing dust kicking cows

Drinking ale, its just another day

What a lie

But she

for him

was right
