DESOLATE
TAMMIE WILLIAMS
White faces,
Black faces
All in desolate places
Off in the distance
I see each stone unveils a life.
The sowed earth conceals the truth.
The wind blows until it all tumbles down.
The porches are now bare.
Fields have been abandoned;
Churches are silent.
Yet stories still live on.
Souls still crying out
Ashes and tears intermingle;
Residuals of past yesterdays.
