Nightcrawlers pray for America

In the dark of noon
a roadside bait shop sign
glows at us

     NIGHTCRAWLERS
     PRAY FOR AMERICA

Even the animals of the earth,
who live so deep
they only know of our weather
when the rain carries it down to them,
pray for us

as towers fall
like candles through the air
