A single cargo plane disturbs the tranquil night with the roar of its engine.
The rumble of a landing,
the sound of creeping death.
A lone man on his porch dots the night with the flick of his lighter.
the crackle of a long drag,
the sound of furious anger.
A single beer can echoes through the night with pop of its tab
The gulp of a full throat,
the sound of deep desperation.
The artificially lit sky above a dying town slowly fades to black.
the fleeting sound of aircraft slowly fades away,
along with the town so many call home.
