Us

the cold wind scowls

angry at us, us with our

cold, gray roads

choking the earth like a noose

all while we are

burning and breaking beautiful

life

to make way for

cement boxes,

metal toys,

and fragile figures


the earth, so shy, lies still until

provoked

splashing her waves on the land

killing in her wake

how sad it is to know

the earth must defend itself

at war

because of

us.
