Dawn breaks through midnight sky
Green with greed
or tornadoes
What might we be without it?
Strangers to everything
but flame and fatality
The hive drawing us together
same-
but too close to the forest
To see anything but trees
How long until we can't move upstream from the contamination?
The plume engulfing
all we don't know
and are indifferent to- 

There's not way to unlearn humanity
animals are light sleepers
spared of the nightmare
that is self-awareness.
Simple lives and simple loves.
Summer hearts and
pure/e/ring
souls
