Artist’s Journal:
THE CROW
The landfill
Can only be
truly
understood
from a great
height
From wide
wings
and
predator’s eyes
Circling high enough
to look
down
and
see
The landscape, a dystopia
Reaching as far in all directions as one can see
While roaring truck after roaring truck brings more:
More inedible, infertile, inert, useless, horrific waste.
What would a wild black creature think, looking down, wings spread open to the earth,
Seeing the land poisoned, buried, and forever destroyed by the leavings of men?
