for Jeanne
No one so impractical: you're
my endangered specie Carolina
parakeet pileated woodpecker
You'd give those perfect teeth to find a
passenger pigeon or spotted owl
cooing and hooting at the carved feet
of our bed And Save the whales! you shout
while legal harpoons launch off lowering fleets
The world's autotoxic: from a sick center
deserts spread like cancer across its dented surface
making you right about everything my mimosa
my warbler Still I confess when you enter
our room with blazing eyes biodiversity's
a distant star: global warming's closer
