earth note 807


there's still green luster
filling up the canopy
cool drizzle makes it to your ears
just before the blue jays wake you up

if the traffic means anything
you'd think the pandemic was over
the car washes have been busy
so have the undertakers

every drop of rain
rising from minnesota lakes & rivers
could renew us all
given half a chance

running out of time to choose between
poison of an oil pipeline
or the sanctuary
of the forest
