Kelly Lenox: Doing Violence to the Language: Mountaintop Removal

In a vi(olent)tal moment

all lan(guage)d

is called mi(ne)ne—

not the ki(ndling)nd

that opens de(nature)ep

into Earth, ra(pe)ther

the Earth is for(gotten)cibly removed

from its unde(velopment)rpinnings,

blasted so the lig(ament)ht

of day sh(rieks)ines

on se(crets)questered minerals.


Pull the threa(t)d

of fuel. Fi(nance)ll

the hoppers of the po(wer)or.

No one should brea(ch)the

that dust, with its par(asites)ticulates

that travel d(ementia)irectly

to the ne(utralize)urons

and plu(nder)g them

like hai(l Mary)r in the drain.
