Tennessee Wind Farm

A high place of vertical beauty

Offers its dying pines

To newcomers who would

Divide this landscape

For a breathless view.

Chosen bodies whose

Limbs crash silently

Burden these pink elements

With gravesites too visible for rest.

Cool, enveloped darkness

Invites outside ingredients

To blend with

This green nakedness.

Such alien structures,

Though absorbed

And soothed by this passive

Stronghold, cannot

Leave behind the cemented cacophony

Of inferior places.
