Global Warming 1

The skeleton of a mastodon
was found in a frozen teardrop.

The scientists scurry
to measure the saline levels.

The teardrop overlooks
a glacier’s snail-like recession.

From the glacier’s sweating peak,
if you crane your neck, you’ll see

the setting sun go prism
off the tip of an icy tusk.
