Sweet water ripples
falls fruit ripe
lovely breath
lush was paradise
until
anchors dropped
sailoirs landfall
legacy:
color flows out of the world
what words for this loss
life flows out of the earth
tiniest to largest creature vanishing
words cannot serve this loss
sky closes saturated with human waste
homo sapiens self harms
collateral damage in excess
all life flows out of the earth
words fail
waters cries
