the dust bowl again
railroad whistles whine
communist conductors
pray in train songs
these old wood houses
offer little shelter from wind
as the prairie howls, listen
you’ll realize it’s the ghost of the
buffalo
this was the bottom
of the ocean
before it was
prairie, it will
never be prairie again
the desert waits
humans drink
the water table dry
the desert dreams
people are ghosts
this is the dust bowl again
--Jason Baldinger
