earth note 630


woke up just in time this morning
to feel a cold rain
awash in the coming snow
i touch it like manna
wish it over
to the california wildfires
wishing of course gets us nothing

the black smoke of the apocalypse
is not another far-fetched conspiracy
turn your head into the wind
time to face up
to the killers of the dream
there's no negotiating
with carbon propaganda

my words have fallen far short
considering
what's coming
are we ready to take the surgery
without the anesthesia
until then
try not to breathe
