the new green land
a little ice left
at the South Pole

Saved by the Gas Range


It stomped from the sea
heading for McMurdo
scientists and engineers fainted
all others but the cook fled
neither fish nor fowl
nor anything recognizable
nevertheless, the skillet
made every part delicious

Antarctic thaw

Cyclopean ruins

Tunnels to the sunless sea

Antarctic soil

drinks the summer sun

35-million-year night has ended

on exhumed bones lianas creep

a polar wonderland

 

the burning deserts of Brazil

of Kansas, Paris, Vietnam

the seas steam

At the Mountains of Madness

drilling for million-year ice
in billion-year mountains

hot drilling fluids sluice
rock chips from the bit
pentaradial barrels warm
