the weight/the wait
the earth is as it should be,
exercising its greatest gift,
tectonic renaissance.
Why do we
gasp at purple rocky mountains?
gaze into the stars?
if they make us feel small.
Why can't we accept mortality
as our fossilized fate?
The dinosaur remains that fill
our gas tanks to the ceiling
should tremor with warning.
We are the virus.
We are the past.
How can we go extinct? We invented that word!
My prayers keep getting returned due to insufficient postage.
