no ripple
on glistening pond
bucolic greenery
greeted sweet mornings
like apple muffins

lacerations on earth's

hushed cathedral
birdsong rang true
retrieved to senses
a lilting lullaby's melodic
notes
then machinery
of life's happenchance
seared through undergrowth
chainsaw's presence
halted paradise
lacerations on earth's
lungs
reverberations hit
tremors appear
reach beyond
borders coddled close
as things find a new
place to roost and
grow
