icecaps come undone crushing into the ocean as she sheds her frozen tears penguins and p0lar bears shudder as their habitats recede like the snows of Kilimanjaro volcanoes explode spewing smoke and ash like billowing pillows into the stratosphere diffusing sunshine's heat like a cold compress floes of lava melt glaciers rivers of mud cause flooded folks to flee fissures crack and snap from her pressure towns and countrysides split floors rumble and roll like the ocean walls tumble, crumble and roar bells toll an all too familiar melody families cry out, wailing and ranting chanting dirges of great loss an inconsolable cacophony rubbled lives lying in ruin but she is not to blame the earth is a no fault state this is our doing ecology's consequence greenhouse gasses and other pollutants have given her a fever her pores are opening to vent the warming she is not angry or vindictive punishment is not her goal and evil has not played its hand the planet is just cooling herself it's how Gaia gets her groove back
