How to See the Future

A postapocalyptic poetry
starts with a dog bite
and featherless birds in the ruined trees,
people nowhere to be found.

Mostly it has to do with cities,
and empty boulevards,
chairs in the public parks with no one to sit in them.
Mostly it's wind in vacant spaces,
and piano chords from a high window.

- Charles Wright
