your land will expel
roman pottery
and fox bones in thousands
of fine, yellowed pieces
as mine is saturated
woken from its dehydration.
skeletal foliage will
thaw, reawaken –
verdant evergreens will
soon blanche beside it
steel batteries
will become ancient
soak their joints with salt spray
and crumble into the sea
the stagnation of winter
will not last
the earth will turn
around again.
