I want to get back to writing nice posts about home maintenance and sustainability, but until then we will have to settle for an open mic session. Here is the latest creation -
Climate Refugees
The moon cycles methodical madness
Wax and full and wane again again
Its bright bodied pearl a calling
card in the sky
Remember us, your one true love
We carry only the imprint of a belt:
Felt in the marrow, narrow-
the voyage to be better
From our burning planet
We escape only to capture tears in jars
And the urine we bottle
Who would leave the mollusk in the desert?
Little blue marble ignites like the
Cuyahoga at noon seen from the cosmos
Ancient ones tried to warn us of thirst
Now we swim in a starry sea of drought
