Fracku

Dogs bark, pace and growl,
Men in white restless pickups-
Texas invasion
***

The heart's uneasy,
flares illuminate the sky
Where can one find peace
***

ILLuminated
tall and smelly, noisy, strange
drilling rigs disgust
***

Diesel, benzene fumes
unnatural air to breathe,
shale drilling begins
***

Why have you done it-
leased the neighboring hay field
to destroy my dreams
***

Water ran clear here
before the Marcellus wells,
now no peace of mind
***

I wanted to sleep,
Mosquito song is better
Than frack trucks and drills
***
