Please don’t throw your man-made
glass on her feet.
No wonder the lightning may kill a
being.
You strike at her; she’ll strike
back, different seeds, different bark.
The only thing that stays the same
is now.
Spring is a women’s season, she
produces the flowers and trees,
Babies and kittens.
People from the wilderness have more
power than those who depend on plastic or ceramic to take urine.
Green ferns, wild waters.
Orange signs that mark the unmarked
beauty.
Now I’m here in town looking at this
tree.
So sad, fed by cigarette buts, its
crying faces.
Going down, down- I hear the sirens.
