L'aura del Campo

Sky Clock [78]

Sky clock

Someone once lived here seeking water
where there was only dust,
and fed themselves by the sweat of their labor
and the crap shoot of luck.

Then rains stopped or the children grew up
and gold returned to rust;
but, the windmill kept recording the seasons
of what is and was once.
