The Canary in the Sky
a dome of cloud
over the city
a poisoned brown miasma
a rainbowed ribbon slithers
in the river below
bitumal and venomous
a wind
weeps across a treeless slope
cut clear of ancient life
a rain falls
upon the land
vitriolic toxin
a sparrow knows
the unkind air
of a suffocated sky
