Poem of the Week: Prairie Restoration

DateWednesday, October 7, 2009 at 09:42AM

Prairie Restoration

I have seen the end of the world

Covered in pavement

as smothered soils bereave

the crawly things of night

diesel engines roar towards collapse

and tumble off the laps of mechanical gods

made slick by the oil of decomposed titans.

 

I have seen the rebirth of Eden

delivered by weeds

as hungry songbirds answer

the spindled firecracker's whistle

mice scurry out from the cracks

and devour the scraps of mechanical gods

erased beneath the vermiculite of smashed glitter.
