Village of
the Elephants
What a
miracle.
Canopy of
birdcalls
Nutrient sand.
Village of
the Elephants
Unintentional.
Hungry from
the forest
Sad slow
nomads.
Grey in
wisdom
Wrinkled
with memory
Fruit from
the bough
Led back out
from the shade.
Village of
the Elephants
What a
miracle.
Smooth tuskless
juvenile
Drinks from
the sand.
His mother’s warm sadness
Left with
the trees
Ivory tombs
Now soft in
memory.
Village of
the Elephants
What a
miracle.
But a
greater miracle
Is the
machine gun.
An AK-47
Named Ivory
King
Singularity
pupils
Wide despite
the sun.
Village of
the Elephants
Payday
miracle.
Hot lead
ejaculations
Saw through
tree-thick legs.
Serrated
edges
Swift-grind Ivory
from husks
Vitamin sand
drinks
A smooth
tuskless juvenile.
Village of
the Elephants
Haunting
miracle.
Sunlit
ossuary
Memory sand.
