Poem
"Ark" books have eyes here they sense things through the turning of leaves strange chapters they listen to small sounds loud lives lived quietly they are grounded cells measured by rings in untouchable ancient territories somewhere else, Amazonia sheds tears she cries for her children, and herself, to be saved the violator rapes her body he beats her until she is dry he doesn’t hear her he takes and takes, from her, what he thinks, is his her pain, his pleasure he undresses her the way he likes her children he mutilates and discards the bounty, his treasure the air to breathe, sullied, becomes much thinner when the soul collectors came they only saved the purest energy the books have eyes here they watch, they listen they see things unseen through other dimensions measureless to man they record his story eventually, the ancient ones ascend, with mother Gaia, her daughter Amazonia, and all creatures, their children through strange waves they take new leaves freedom to breathe they are the higher vibrations rapturously transported to the better worlds the story recorded in each book with eyes, chapters from all the leaves stripped bare, remain with the violators who now stand discarded unwanted, left behind in despair crying their tears (LadyLabyrinth / 2022) “Ocelot”/Emancipator https://youtu.be/Yn_g40iRi90 "The trees will tell their secrets to those that tune in.” Steven Magee "They claim this mother of ours, the Earth, for their own use, and fence their neighbors away from her, and deface her with their buildings and their refuse." Sitting Bull "We have enslaved the rest of the animal creation, and have treated our distant cousins in fur and feathers so badly that beyond doubt, if they were able to formulate a religion, they would depict the Devil in human form." William Inge
