SilverRose Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Whether the outer stretches ofSouthern Iowa, the city streets at night, orthe daytime sidewalks of footsteps andnoise, for years she searched in thoughtand sight for the commonality, searching,searching for a word a phrase, an accurateway to describe to define it all.What is the common ground theword to describe that which is vast wideand uninhabited as well as that which ispopulated yet still missing something,something important, essential, yet in someodd way seeming as empty as the placeswhich have no human element at all?Searching, searching for the rightword, the word came: desolate. Perhaps it would sound strange bothto those so familiar with the emptiness asto think it normal and the outsider who hasnever seen it at all, how empty howdesolate even a crowded city can be, thisplace unlike any other experienced before,this place where human beings are notconnected to one another.The word in its accuracy rang like abroken bell, one tarnished and left to itsdecay, as if kicked aside and, invisible tothe masses in their drone of apathy, left tofreeze solid to the ground or blister in thesummer sun.
