Dinosaurs At All The Gates Of Heaven

I can imagine the giant lizards

walking across the glass

that once had been Lake Michigan,

sliding now and then, sometimes falling

and heaving themselves to their feet

with giant lizard sighs. I can see them

tramping over the gleaming surface

in a migration which will lead them

inevitably to all the gates of heaven

as we are all led inevitably

to all the gates of heaven

which await us across the swamp

that once had been the Northern Sea.
