Plutonium Train Comin' Through Town At 3A.M.

by Claude Mayers


New Moon in a southern black sky
The hawk flees
The rabbit stops
                    Under a budding magnolia

Shaking ground

The giant slithering ghost of a snake
               Sinuously
            Winding 
                Down
                   The
                         Mountain
      Gliding up and around the bluffs
