Edge of Extinction

When the pelicans fall
my throbbing heart will erupt
into hot rain, cloud-burst
to drown your dirty towns
fill your black lungs
‘till, clean at last,
you will feel
the pelicans’
pain.

  1. If only we could feel the creatures' pain, we might then change the world. I love your message in this poem, Steven.
