where stubble has a ferrous frizzle.
A long-truncated railroad stop
humming still with a faded reality.
As dry voices on the wind, they return

Taking their move as a harbinger,
Birds and animals reset their homes

Fishless streams,
Is this really the fruition?
Of all our dreams?
They drill in our oceans,
