Rowen Winter

ode to our Mother
Earth in this winter season
unable to cry

crime of our passion
shunning the awe of nature
urn holds the ashes

she’s grieving the loss
ostracized to mourn alone
owns no blame herself

selfish disregard
guarding our own interest
estranged from nature

urn holds the ash of
overharvested flora
rubbish unneeded

dead by our own hand
hand over fist our rowen
Winter’s upon us
