a failure in optimism

Climate Change, media, Personal Reflection, politics, refugees 1 Minute

(hopefully brief)

we are all but sharks
in the planet’s glowing tides

snapping at spilled blood and 
exhausted by a need to grow teeth

some days a deep breath means 
looking up... missing keystones and 

folded tower-blades, all in the seven 
greys of a dead fish, clouds raked into 

piles and societies bent low, 
as dogs in the rain

We all walk in the dark. But if we hold hands, perhaps the dark won't be as scary.
