Waste

Waste

A Poem by p.kuhl

I started from scratch,
forging a new life
carving machines out of
a wild place, wolves

knocking at the gates
and boars as large
as trucks, in hoards
restlessly caressing the wasteland

of chairs that were 
trees. While this wretched
place sleeps, I hear
howling over the mechanic

lullaby and the clamor
of coal and lumber
ablaze. The colored smoke,
our gift to God

Still, the burning stench
is as permanent as
the ants that watched
me obliterate everything beautiful
