7/10/21

swept under the rug



how large is the rug now,

the one we keep 

sweeping things under


rising in a mountain’s ground

these things ignored 

or discarded as irrelevant


this barren land, spoiled earth

where not a sign of life

dares to roam or settle seed


a landfill at best; what sullen

prosperity swells before us

under the vulture’s stare
