''This My Dear Earth'' by Dave Hart
Now, the majestic rivers swell
Rise - flood - and absorb all coasts of land
This earth
long violated
spews up stentorian
cries
Tears
of bright dewy lava
now jettison up
One hundred thousand miles
in a dark blue sky
A myriad of
tiny cheerful stars
Hasten to prickle
Earths long ravaged crown.
