Dawningsburgh

By Wallace West

A lean wind wails through the age-old
avenues of Dawningsburgh.

Mornings, it brings sand from surrounding hills and scrubs
at fresh paint, neon signs endlessly
proclaiming the city’s synthetic name and street markers
in seven languages.

At sunrise it prepares the dunes for footprints of
scurrying guided tourists.

When icy night clamps down and the intruders
scamper to their hotels,
the wind howls as it flings after them a day’s collection
of paper cups,
bottle caps and other picnic offal.

Wallace West

Wallace West is a world explorer spending most of his time on the US East Coast (the rest wherever strikes his fancy). He once foolishly pet a wild alligator and considers a tinned-fish picnic in Norway the best meal he's ever had. By day he writes and illustrates, by night he wonders if he should get a pet snake.
