Summerlin

 According to legend, the Day of the Dead commemorates the anniversary of the day Atlantis was destroyed.

The fall left behind
Besides the heartbreaking guilt
At who knew
And who wasn't told
A scattering of pyramids

And now, despite the pain of the caul
That veils others' eyes
The pyramids have risen inside,
Knowledge has become
Experienced

The voice that cried in the desert
Grieving, grieving
Has given way, finally,
To the rat-a-tat of crows
Thirsting for water

The rocks that broke in my hands
No longer need to be real
As I struggle forward
Like the blind to the light;
I can see how the screen warps
