the twig snapped between thumb and finger
a tree died limbless leafless and dead-rooted
the birds will not sing from broken branches
green refused to sway or rustle in the wind
and all the people sheltered burned to a crisp
beneath the canopy of a disintegrated forest
nuclear wrangling they pressed another button
and this time they signed it goodbye godbless you
