Poem: Climate Change

 

Climate Change

 

a sob of trees,

whipped and slippery,

grope stone clouds,

branches gripping

a multi-armed, multi-thighed

onslaught of wind,

twigs for fingernails,

slashes raked.

 

fate writhes,

trunks crane,

heartstrings snap,

groaning from the vehemence

of human avarice.

 

barks bare fangs,

hisses of wood anguish,

viper-knots nude of root

strangle

 

strangle

 

strangle in lament.

groves gone,

cruelty eats worlds,

kingdoms drown

in torrents of stupid.
