TRACE IT BACK




Nature procreates
mindlessly
with no regard for the numbers
or the consequences.
I know some peeps like that too.

Bathing in their own pious disregard--

the stink of the river still on them,
as Gaia's icy tears
cascade into the sea.

And I thought I heard her whisper:

There's only one of me...
and far too many of you.

  1. Whoa, this one hits me exactly where I live.....only one of her, way too many of us. Beautiful and effective image of her icy tears - melting faster than we can record it. Great poem, Timo.
