A Poem
This is the wind
A force you only
Know through
Consequence
This is the sea
Shoving your waste
Returning it to you —
How are you are surprised?
We’ve been here before
This is the power
To shift what we knew
Into counting
What we still hold
This is the mystery
Of all of our paths
No one to lead
Followed by death
This is the earth
Pleading to take
Her back after
That repeated argument
You’ll never win
No chance.
But she’ll always
give you
Another try
Next time you’re free
A new generation
Born into debris
