Snake River Hydraulic


Returning

as a man

woken from the sleep

of lost memory

 

Daydreaming now

the only option

eyes wide open

images flash

 

Moments before

become moments after

painting all reference

in shades of gray

 

Starting the ending

to seal its inception

each step taken

—forward and back
