Thule Time Machine
Top of
glaciered world,
bathed within virgin
snowdrifts, ivory-carved, frosty
niche shaped from fang of felled
beast, leaving nothing to waste
save for scattered ingenuity
seeded, entombed in icy
island-hopped earth;
the slit apertures still filter
whiteouts as designed,
now as anachronism
carefully preserved
to see only
the past.
