Warmer Days |
|
The ice is melting.
Glacial waters,
trapped for a hundred thousand years,
are rushing into milky turquoise lakes,
or rafting on the sea,
free to release their ancient atmospheres,
to drop their burden of particulates,
spitting out meteorites
like seeds. |
|
The ice retreats,
revealing the bones of mammoth
and of man.
One was stolid prey, the other,
incautious predator
ravaging resources still. |
|
Ice has seen warmer days
and yet returned to cover continents,
gouging mountainsides, sharpening peaks,
pushing life down slope again
despite its many bold advances.
This earth that felt the weight of dinosaurs
now feels the weight of man.
Nature's invincible union
of the animate and inanimate,
whose balance man would transcend,
may slough him off as easily. |
