A parchment sky
over sterile hills,
muddy rivers
across dry wheat fields,
a desert wind
tuning an old requiem.
Last night I dreamt in sepia.

Really such a sharp set of phrases, even in sepia–especially love ‘a desert wind/
tuning an old requiem…’ you make the reader feel it blowing dry on the face, sucking out every drop of moisture from the skin.

Dreaming in sepia.. a little similar to how my poem ended, we must have had similar thoughts. Sometimes you cannot differ from the landscape and your dreams.
