canyon run butte

power lines cutlass the open sky,
rising suburban sewage tide
washes over the wilderness

in sevens and elevens,
in diamonds and shamrocks,
this retail must be curtailed

as forests are felled,
fuel to this sprawling disease
of so much impersonal property

left in the hands of scaly
cotton mouths and copper heads
with water in their moccasins.

there is no place left to hide.
