BURNING DINOSAURS
Blood of ancient reptiles
Oozes from shale
Spurts from the tops
Of well-placed wells
Staining everything it touches
Stuffed in barrels
It washes over our shores
Siphoned into the bellies
Of restless machines
Where it is burned
To a thin curl of smoke
Which we never see
Head down
Pedal to the metal
To our own extinction
