Walking
by the waterless
Flood
control tunnel
This
early evening in fall
There's
no evidence of the
Mexican
free-tailed bats
And their
nightly mass-exit
Out the gaping
concrete mouth
Into the
traffic of insects
And the
beetled hours
Except a vast
emptiness
Heaving
from their summer roost
Exhaling dank
guano
Into the stillness
of desert twilight.
