did you make up the sky?
we needed no barriers between feet and earth
we are children of the earth
suckled by the fruits and flesh of the round mother
who slowly walks around the moon and the stars
each day
to show us a journey and a lesson
of which we are meant to learn.
On our mother we build tumors
to the sky.
Little running scattered bacteria
leave with a flurry to inhabit
+plague more skin.
We infect and take over
did you make up the sky
with thoughts of pollution in mind?
did you make up the earth
with shoes and sandels in mind?
did you make up the trees
with axes in mind?
Cutting down natural growth
choosing to live in a world of gray
Do we ache
only to see what we've destroyed?
