Evolution And Climate Change
Glacial silences
distorted paths of caring
creating icy
wilderness.
Like elusive trout
cynical of artificial lures
we cast then
skillfully retreated into rocky habitats
returning by some
weeping urge
toward what we
hoped was real.
Seasons cycled
memories that changed without our notice
until the
stream-bed dried
exposing curves
and angles invisible before.
Sentiment buys
nothing on the desert.
Ecology has no
rule except its own.
Survival is no
luxury of choice but function
where chance
competes with necessity for life
where ultimate
replaces mechanism, ceasing to be a dream
where borders
between freedom and wilderness
are preserved in
form and silence
where poetry is
but a promissory note one is unable to repay.
