broken landscape

poetry, 2020


growing from the trash of every things thrown by humans
red girl rises in flames of disgust
as the roots die the mountain of waste expands and flourish
it is a new kind of landscape flourishing and spreading
a landscape made of mushrooming ache
the agony reveals ths wounds of abuse
in this fever only spasms and the torments of capitalism
on her dress the distant ruins of a glacier now melted in the heat of earth

this really is a broken landscape.
