On Harvey ... by Maggie

Hurricane Harvey

Houston

oil refineries, chemical plants, pipelines… 

Are we ready? Beautiful ocean are you ready? 

Terrorist attack on fossils

by the power of nature 

to respond – resist – reset

man- made imbalance Hurricane Pachamama, 

are we ready? NO. 

When's day morn 8/30/2017 

Rain off and on 

all night, all morn 

90% chance, all week 

Rain outside

Rain inside - Rain around the planet 

on the monitor and flooding our minds 

drenching any other thoughts.

After-math, 

the never-ending equation... 

Business, as usual? 

Is there such a thing? 

Recovery? 

Let it go! 

Recover the CO2 from the air; 

recover the plastic from the ocean; 

recover our connection 

our con-science 

our humility.

And, for the "white" clan,

if you think for one moment 

that the survivors will be the "white thoroughbreds"...think again

You may be the first to go with your “cold, dead fingers” wrapped around the triggers.



Well, it’s twelve noon 

 Kenny has gone to Patzcuaro. 

 Fresh Lemon pie arrives at the door 

 maybe another cup of coffee will rescue me from the rain. 

 I’ll have a Skype chat with Molly, 

 put on the latest playlist from Max 

 and carry on, 

 in the slick of it.
