Since April is a Poem a Day month and today is Earth Day:

We were on this
really long road and we knew
we could always lean in a bit harder.
And given half chance dance
like fools on the sawdust floor of losses.
But now
things too terrible to bare
stop up our mouths with unimaginable sadness
or break open a lifetime’s worth of curses;
It makes no difference
as we gaze into the maw
standing on this precipice
we thought we’d never reach.
