Queen of the underworld
She ate pomegranate, took the darkness inside her
She became it
The crows, unconcerned
will be happy to eat our bodies when they fall
The earth is responding
She is hitting reply to the rape
She is posting about the amount of destruction
She is not angry, just giving back
equal energy
Humans
they think they are so special, so precious
but viruses, they live here too
The water lives here too
The plates of the earth
they live here, too
Let me cause an earthquake
Let me burn down forests
Let me choose between looking at stars or looking at apartments
Let me feel cars on my belly, inhale the
smoke
you opened Pandora’s box, now
drink it in
There have always been times of mass extinction
but they will pretend it is not a symptom of that
Where are whispers of your shadow
Where are the pieces of your being you’ve been avoiding
Where are the pieces of you that love this drama
Where is the delicious piece of you
that craves playing the game
Until you own that you like it
it won’t go anywhere
Deny it and it hides, gets stronger
We will play out the symphony til the very end
a wild ride, this one
Sit in what you have created
Humans have a penchant for beauty, at least
it’s been more entertaining than the dinosaurs
I sit in hot water and cannot get warm
I smell garlic on my fingertips
I touch my hair
The earth is at peace
Will they learn to work together
to listen
to live
or will they carry on, moaning about their
unprecedented
… pain
Doesn’t matter to her
The flowers are still blooming
Daffodils, with their seductive scent
Will bees come back, if more humans die?
I am noticing people wanting to feel sorry for themselves
I heard bacteria love global warming
Where is the elemental pleasure
The water, the tree bark, the nectar
the dark the light
the dark the light
the dark
the light
When will they wake up from this dream
Matter, is not that solid
