To write a poem Is to take

One shred of your soul

And arrange it

Or splash it

Or smear it

Where passersby may see;

Sometimes, but only sometimes,

You know

If they do.

*

We, the endangering species,

Must, as Eiseley saw,

Destroy what we don’t understand,

The only things we fear

More than knowledge

Being first understanding,

Then empathy.

*

Yet we all, one day, must join

Those who have disappeared.

*

[dedicated to Tortmaster and to officebss, who inspire me far more, and far more often, than they know.]
