Herein lie the ashes of a memory,
carried by hearsay and worn pencils,
borne in fading notebooks and tattered journals.
See it now, spilled out and scattered.
See it now, huddled in the corner of the room,
nervous, sweating through its clothes.
See it now, angry and clouding,
bursting to and fro across the state -
an insatiable dervish of discontent.
See it now, exhausted and defeated,
panting against the side of a brick building,
breathing itself in and out, in and out.
