Today’s poem (ironically) is an offshoot of the one I was working on yesterday. This is more like the poem I had in my head when I began yesterday; even if it didn’t end up there.
desperation
the more i read
about what we need to change
if we are to change
climate change’s worst potential
outcomes
the more desperate & depressed
i become
to the point where i am glad
i haven’t brought kids
into the world we are daily
terradeforming
but thankfully
that madness passes
to be replaced
by the old ongoing
sadness
One thought on “Day 16 — desperation”
