Fornasetti dress
arctic antarctic
ursa major ursa minor
bears no bears aurora
some bitterroot expert
waiting on the fat bear
cone of disturbance cone formula
coneflower cone of shame
waiting on winter
open up your mouth
cone of silence care of creation
blame game blame no blame
first came global warming’s flame
then slow-moving hurricanes
then migratory bird deaths
cloud flashes spider lightning
red sprites blue jets and elves
wildfire takes the oxygen
from the room of talking heads
not that good at breathing in
open up your mouth
brown out long drought
trees search for water
roots burned Notre Dame
down down down
rewild our cities rebuild our lady
send citizens to space
hashtag climate change
hashtag nuclear risk
hashtag disruptive technologies
on the international day for disaster
prevention faster and faster
prevention oh lord prevention
prevention is better than the cure
choke but swallow that wider wider
open your mouth
scrambled eggs and grits
organic brown with fresh permaculture
wildcrafting chicken in the woods
spiral herb gardens
the salve and the flame bestill my heart
bestill my heart that song haunts me
alone in the melody alive in the refrain
bestill my heart in the silence of care
in the tenderness of the moonlight
stars abound but it all keeps crashing down
stars shift spinning top hot iron core
spinning stars and faces
lined in gold wobbling on its axis
curled hurled whirled
pearls found in the knitting and purl
passion mixed fashions
it is as if we repainted all the existing world
rotation sweeps out a cone
in your Fornasetti dress
one coronal mass eats the flowers
earth earthshine
dynamite stress
dynamite in that dress
time to flee a cloud full of debris
open up your mouth
lock down your house
