Coro-Nation

toddlers, we, clutching

keys and matches

fireworks set with glee

a game at first

reveling in power

in sparkle

in. feats of will

meddling sightless

deaf

Earth responds

with storm and flame

summer and fall

raging forests

scorched land

choking soot

California Siberia

Brazil Australia

winter and spring

lungs on fire

a trillion trillion

bat-launched

wreath-ringed emissaries

teaching by subtraction

teaching by loss

technology of speed

and war give way

battle for breath

battle for Life
