Glenn Hefley - Forever Jack
"Who am I?"
The heaviness this time is more than an odd feeling. The pressure bends branches and brings a flying desert owl to ground. The sands, the granite rocks, the collective life of the desert, inhales... Listening ... Remembering.
The desert’s answer is a litany of sounds from every throat and hollow. Words, whispers, cries, expand across the high flats and rush down the dead river gulches. Within the maelstrom are the desperate screams of horses, fierce battle clashes, steel cracking heavy wood, the pounding of hooves on soft sand, the wails of birth, the rhythm of hammers on iron.
"Jack the Daw." The desert names.
"Forever Jack." The sky returns.
"Sunset." The moon adds.
"Death." The dry river ends.
"Jack. Jack the Daw." The man whispers, nodding his head in slow agreement with the voices of the past, "The Forever Jack."
