word of the day: isolation 

          when humans quarantined, creatures broke from isolation:

bears and jackals roamed the streets, scouting bare locations.

the rumour-mills claimed dolphins had returned to Venice shores.

some say rare takhi horses run Chernobyl in their hordes.

perhaps the long-lost thylacine will show its tyger-coat

like unicorn okapis in the Congo undergrowth...

          in aftermaths of fission wars and cataclysmic clash —

          what other mythic creatures will arise from atom ash?
