Will she mourn us?

A planetary rebellion

shuttering us inside

our houses

without humans

the air is cleaner


the Earth

is trying to heal

humanity

an unwitting

blight

on the world


some tried

some tried to save her

reusable bags

and recycled cans

a bandaid

on the open wound

while the world

bleeds out


we meant well

we say

there is beauty to balance

our volatility


maybe the Earth

will be

kind enough

to mourn us
