Scattered throughout this collection Ruins will be these poems about actual ruins of civilizations. The mysteriously abandoned Machu Pichu seems to symbolize for me the ephemeral nature of societies, of cultures. And its abandonment begs the question of the fickle nature of fate itself. Maybe of God. Why do some rise and some fall? I wanted that last image of the sun set behind the mountains to be this haunting moment of abandonment. Maybe so it forces us to ask the question of what is going to happen to US. estory
