Before
no bald pigs slopping at troughs,
no gelded, branded, broken chattel,
instead roams of aurochs.
foams of errant bats,
and weaves of neon fish
who escher-dart through
tapestries of kelp
luminous with pregnant medusas.
no satellites which slice through the waist of Venus,
no contrails cruel as a rogue bullet,
from an airplane’s ass.
instead
prosperous skies,
opulent with minstrel flocks,
blossoms of vivid butterflies
flirty with lucent moths,
how they waltz, tango,
effuse, pirouette ...
no streetlamps to confuse them,
no pavement to mar such primal esplanades,
which pollinate golden.
no corporate pollutants,
those unnatural effluents and excrements
poisonous
to all that has ever breathed.
