One night at a lecture about his travels
justly famous paleontologist spoke
of his months-long dinosaur-hunting trip to
blistering Sinkiang
where the land consisted of pretty greenish
pebbles rolling ocean-like, endless, seeming
cool, relaxing but when you touched, hot as the
hinges of Hades
as he put it. Dinosaur empires - China,
Russia, Persia - bled into Central Asia.
Now except for China they’ve gone: bound Sinkiang,
tortured by Han.
