For Magaly’s Prompt at Real Toads. We are to take one of the 13 lines listed form Kerry’s Poetry, exactly as the line is written. a beautiful prompt. Kerry is a fine poet and an excellent artist, drawer of Tarot Card. I fell in love with Toads when I found the site. I thought some of the finest poets in the blogosphere posted their poems there. I still do. I bow to Kerry in her greatness. NOTE: I used to live about 2 miles from the Dry Falls in the illustration.
The Future
“A weird time in which we are alive. We can travel anywhere we want, even to other planets. And for what? To sit day after day, declining in morale and hope.” ― Philip K. Dick, The Man in the High Castle
the future arrives just as water
turns into a dry fall
jutting from the side of the mountain.
we walked underneath it
looking through the water at the
river below us –
we stood in the cave behind it and
and held each other close
the future arrives just as water
turns into mist on a cold grey day
turning the trees into mysteries.
the future is there… looking back at us –
trying to make sense of the
fiction we will have become.
