Void
By Cheryl A Van Beek

Far above my laptop hawks glide
tilting in circular slow motion
painting rims of cloud cluster
following some primal notion.

Like earthworms in a garden,
we surface through layers of history
then forget to return to till.
We skim topsoil
its depth a mystery.

The once healing sun
now sears our collagen bonds,
since we pierced its skin
with chemical wands.
Corn fed cars
drive to wi-fi bars.
