Turbines


Bronwen Sleigh Turbine II, Etching


Gargantuan impossible giants,

ponderous and unsteady

above the landscape,

as if one clumsy misstep

might bring them back to earth,

like spinning tops

shuddering to a giddy fall.


Beneath them,

the pylons, 

stand unnoticed now,

that once loped across the fields

above the hay bales

like warriors born of dragon’s teeth.


They are skeletons now,

taut reminders of our diminution, 

while the plodding turbines,

tick away at the possibilities of time.
