Yellow Giants

Saffron Dinosaurs with Rusted Edges

Cumbersome Robots with Human Brains

These, they 

Lift

Carry

Deposit

Push

Replace and

Fill

– what skin draped beings see fit to confuse, see fit to change. 

A path made to Mother’s design

is interrupted. 

Each year she is made to try again,

forced again to pursue her dedicated path; 

giving in is not an option

for a power above our flesh she does own.

Mustard Colored Moving Steel

crows as it travels in reverse

to retrieve its mouth full of history. 

Crushed earth, 

crustacean remains, 

sea creature bones

reduced to minute pieces,

nearly equal in smallness to salt grains 

decorating the sea bass on your plate,

the yellow dinosaur hoists into its gaping mouth. 

~

Hard sand is drawn into the sea. 

Turning water erodes shore,

as is the art of nature.

Now,

the coast is swallowed at a higher speed. 

Land overtaken,

by an overheated Mother Earth with changing temperament. 

Melting glaciers raise her seas of tears

as replenishment by yellow giants

serves as a temporary fix. 

Still skin draped beings,

refuse to let the water move in natural flow.

With the employ of saffron dinosaurs,

the disconnected brains insist upon the shore,

the carry

the deposit

the push

the replace

the fill ~ 

We see fit to confuse, to change, the force on earth created by its dance with the silent moon.
