Dustcolored

Somewhere in some dustbowl a barbed-wire contonment of low-cost dustcolored prefab buildings, smelling of shame and hopeless incontinence identical clothes of disposable paper, identical rations of chemically flavored food

Kept swirling like dust under their dustcolored heaven.

Old Tiflis, dustcolored with an occasional patch of blue or white on a house, is loosely sprinkled in the funnel out of which the copper-wire river pours into the plain.
