Dinosaurs


from the ABC set The Anvil Earth

Dinosaurs have buried the past
In deep and ill defined holes lie
Bone and soil by flesh combined

Decay shoulders the great machines
As trundling they fracture future
With yellow claws try rib and loam

Old worm hides his blind emotion
behind ribbed and caged bone
Waits for crumbling upheaval

Of jarred bone on skeleton skies
Truth is shed and in the ruins
Worm is fed bleached compomise
