Pointillism
A whole landscape is disappearing…faster than any place of earth!
here, where so few humans have walked,
lines of mythic dreaming...
Nevermore!
The terrible beauty of this storied treeless land cast in perpetual twilight,
blinding white, or complete darkness…
melting!
Anthropocene the mark shows on this geological epoch,
users and dominate influencers meet native talking hands
debating the sixth extinction. On islands of disappearing ground birds, endangered
crested honeycreepers still flutter where six months turns into a year.
Retort...answered in vintage
CO2 uncorked from ancient glaciers at the bottom of the planet
filling the lungs of our atmosphere.
surviving anxiety a desert message from the bottom of earth, whales, seals, penguins,
every creature’s innate ability, oxygen-giving trees, fungi, and flora; remain sanguine.
The world is on fire...! same but different, glaciers exhale last breaths in cascading swells
of finality. draining alluvial sands, the proof of the worth of water in dry wells.
connect the dots!
Intriguing pointillism, dot after dot after dot in paintings of record...retreat and recede.
foraminifera lift the lid on the ice core samples etched in glass, contrast a few bleed
preserved vertically oriented in pointless photographs of
Carbon based lifeforms...eyes steam in salty tears trying to visualize galactic warming,
in the proof of the past; excavate and reconstruct beasts of distant oblivion. repeat mass extinction
till the point of no return: witness this end, destructive architect
beginning a new philosophy alarmed by the tipping-
point of hyperobjects.
A heart needs earth to beat its point music on oceans of change,
warning of the win that nature always claims...
form oil helps anoint!
ice is the regulator ...that is the point! ANTARCTICA
