Pterodactyl
Flying lizard of delight
Oh, pterodactyl on the wing,
To see you soar makes my heart sing.
Though not a dinosaur as such,
Your graceful form I love so much.
Ever present in monster movies
Like 10,000 BC, your presence proves these
Representations of dino psyche
Are miles away from the image that could be
Seen if only we looked more closely
At what you were surely like in reality.

181 Keeping Watch
Each day she watched through her window. Watched? Perhaps an exaggeration: a monochromatic nuclear aftermath remaining of the world, blurring into a blindness--loss of contrast and depth of field. Achromatic aberrations displayed a waste-scape stratified in grays.
