Flint and flight:                                             Flinta och flyta:
Nature curls, open:                                      Naturen lockas, öppnas:
Unwinding.                                          ­         Nystas av.

We walk, not straight, lined                         Vi går, ej rakt, fram
In slow curves,                                              I långsamma kurvor,
A met horizon.                                             En mötande horisont.

Breath, in flumes,                                        Andetag,  i rännor,
Breath invisible,                                          Osynlig andedräkt,
Warmth freezes winter.                              Värmen fryser vintern.

All roots and branches                                  Alla rötter och grenar
Striving to hold up:                                      Strävar att hålla upp:
falling sky.                                                   fallande himmel.

So much for trying.
They're not even trying.
So, we took three bags full of plastic,
Down to the recycling.

And somewhere specific in the Pacific
More life eats and dies.

Who remembers buying goods
From wooden drawers
Given in brown paper bags?

No?

Now all is trade and import/export
On boats and planes

And all life is plastic.

Maupassant and Baudelaire
Say stick it up your derriere
You countries that just won't care
'Cos energy is free as free as thought
In sunshine caught
So take your sticky carbon crap
Your shale, oil, and your frack
And leave them in the ground below
For we are here: the undertow
And we will grow.

You,
You are a women of power!
You stride through
The rivers of life
Like a water buffalo.

sea wake
shale rake
snipe & drake
winters slake

tern & turn
rush & fern
grey dawn
a wings return

moons caul
weasels maul
muted toll
wicked all

Waking eyes
tied dyed

Breaking lies
Tide died
