for all the dying butterflies
for all the leopards gone
for all the tusks of elephants
for all the lost bird songs
for all the frogs and salamanders
for all the fish and fowl
for all the deeds that man has done
and the shame I carry now
I sat within the center of the clear-cut
and cried.
mankind,
maybe the first
oxymoron?
