Late August at the End of the World
Lying in bed
at the hour of sleep
won’t come,
the last ice shelf
calved, Greenland,
a cube melting
in a whiskey glass,
the government
removing mailboxes
to quell resistance
anchored in
each other’s arms,
it’s a good thing
we didn’t have kids.
It will continue
to worsen. Talking
the tug between
what we can do
and the inevitable.
Wanting to spend
these dogeared days
growing cucumbers
and watching the sky
cycle through its moods,
the bees sleeping
upside down on
the goldenrod
we let go to seed.
