Hallway of isolation, the smell of asbestos

And the abandonment of life

Moldy brick, coal dust injection

Silent trainyards with cars of fossilized offal

A gift shop a quarter mile from a mass grave

Fingernail biopsy, the ochre of mechanical ruination

Unclaimed remains, lingering stink

The grease of human fat baked into the tile

Crematory desolation
