Native

What hills have eyes 
with visions 
darker than reality? 

It sees traveler’s retroactively 
firing flares of incandescent 
flair, never 
possessing the souls 
that slumber 
in shallow tombs 
for a native punch 
through the lens. 

They are weak, 
the ones that eat 
off the land 
and never cultivated 
crops of civilized junction.
