a poem to the galaxies
& their billions of stars
& the vastness of the universe,,,
– Or one to planet Earth,
its oceans & the Seven Wonders of the World…
– Or, to the origin, evolution,
history & untimely death,
of the ant crawling on the page.

– Part of the Earth dies,
when the birds don’t sing anymore,,,
the air becomes heavy
with no trills to pierce it.
– Says one flying bird to another,
“Humans are unpredictable,
but in one respect they’re very consistent,
they’re always either burning,
or destroying our forests,
our homes.”
– “C’mon, let’s keep flying…
maybe we’ll find another forest,
far, far away,
where no bird ever heard
of humans.”
