Day 23: Earth Day

is this the ungentle earth
tumbling us backward
having humored us too long

raising one tired brow
as we proclaim (again)
our victories:
immunity
preparedness
m a c r o e c o n o m i c  s t a b i l i t y

we who crowned ourselves masters
of knowing
needing
deserving

we
so certain
we are
certain?

is this the bitter earth
cuffing us,
sprawling,
into the dust
to which we belong?
