we lit their skillet
they soothe me, we ruin them
pausing at the heart, I plop
and sink in their yard, their branch
holds me down, assures my touch
won’t worry sinked nouns, the tanned
surface mixes the weather,
cowed, potent clouds then kisses
of fire stolen together
with vapors purse-proud, hisses
from the full-faced sound, I winch
at the places impounded,
the sting tilts my ears, “you fringe
the spear. look at it, then down it,”
gripped thanks,
we lit their skillet
Tell us something about the natural world that you love and don’t wish to lose. What are your thoughts on the kind of world we are leaving for the next generation?
I don't want to lose the natural world around us. We are always so focused on ourselves, and we are always rushing from place to place. We don't appreciate nature at all. We are also consuming a lot, not thinking about the consequences it has on the environment. I think we are leaving an environment that is broken and trying to repair itself, however, in order for it to repair itself, we need to start thinking about the negative effects on nature that result from society.
