Unnatural History Museum
pressed under glass
the last goldfinch whistle
slowly solidifies
into earwax
untroubled by looters
who choose flashier artifacts
from this dilapidated museum
close to closing time
in one diorama the leaves
are already withering
in another, farmers turn played-out
soil toward the sun
which is kept in a separate
display case on the mezzanine
right above the blowhole
of a great blue whale
