The sooty carbon paper has now multiplied
the words of God.
The rotting leaf.. a lifeboat
for a drowning bug
The unfragrant garbage scow
a haven for exhausted ocean birds
The polluted Charles River
has kept alive seaward fishes and
watered plants along her shores.
The angels of the dumpster
have yielded candles
made of the stolen energy
of pigs.. the flame
they yield is holy
Mother Earth decried as filthy
has now made of all her rooms
.. altars for new fresh blooms
