Her regard is constant, generous:
connection, change, growth, abundance,
nature craves
cradles us all.
Besmirched necessity cuts experience,
out of control
she gives us her throat.
Please put down your weapon
effect new aims:
sense, enjoy, enough to eat,
shelter, heal, educate our children.
Neoliberalism toppled.
Custodians customary.
