My dust, like fine ash, is thrown and returned. Scatters the remains of stalks and seeds.
-Trina Crawford. "The Aspen Grove" - raNDom.
Trembling with yellowing anticipation, Leaves watch the wind blow over emptying fields.
Gathering speed on the hills, and screaming through coulees,
Yesterday catches up to the Present.
