Hearts slough their way
Through the hypnotized haze
Embalming us in a feverish daze,
Alone, gazing at the psychosis.
Hearts move silent and swift
Under the layers of silencing
To whisper holy words,
To plant holy beans in the earth.
Hearts see through all delusion
That a world based on humans
Neglecting our living kin,
Metastasizes the delusion.
Life flourishes without domination,
And intellectual authority must permit
Intuitive, co-creative exploration.
Earth league, assemble!
Nature, show us how to serve.
Let us be the spider
Of a photosynthesizing web
Cast among these concrete dreams
And thorny, needle-flooded seams
Let them gulp the sunbeams
Cascading on this city’s bald head.
Earth league, huddle round,
The sky looms and blazes
The grass pads our paws
Steel shafts scrape skyward
Tens of thousands of humans,
Chaotic, imploding, wandering
Timidly peering
Wide-eyed, yet unawares
Earth league, bring them home.
