Warming<\/strong><\/p>\n

An hour
\nbefore dawn,
\nso brittle and parched,<\/p>\n

mother earth
\nlike sandpaper
\nthis dry winter morning.<\/p>\n

Nature thirsts
\nin anguish before the sun
\nhas even made her daily appearance.<\/p>\n

There are those who would deny
\nthe evidence of global warming,
\nthough the signs are all around us,<\/p>\n

giving fair warning,
\nscreaming in near-agony from
\nthe gasping throats of continuous drought.<\/p>\n

The view
\nin the distance
\na familiar one, and yet not\u2026<\/p>\n

still the middle of winter,
\nthis third week in February,
\nnot a white-capped mountain anywhere in sight.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
