dream
back by the crossroads
at camp Thirteen

people gone
town bulldozed—
now a glass-littered
mound

and then a wave
of black smoke
ink flows over
Pennsylvania hills
fills the river valley

the demo pile standing
out over darkness
that’s rolling rolling

like Allegheny
hills
like coal seams
underground

surging on
and we don’t know
     when
          how
               it will end
