The Wind's Sail

The Wind's Sail


by Nancy Dickeman

In the new world
combustion is a secret
set to burst from its radioactive shell,

its afterlife, cloud billowing
into the wind's sail
slips to the ground as if

tempting who will follow
who will embrace invention
all the way to the ends of the earth?

Along the desert, in the crescent formed
where the hills lay flush to sea level
and river bed, cooling towers

notch the skyline, the land
stained with wild flowers and sagebrush.
Down river a camp fire blossoms

orange into twilight,
the smoke lingers
past nightfall, past the embers' quenching.

Nancy Dickeman
