I long for a society that reclaims
the wasteful
replaces the spilled oil, sludge
and other such garbage
with blossoms
giving the soil back over
to the rose, the dogwood
the crabapple, magnolia and the cherry tomato
finally remembering
what it was like
to be tucked in
by a mother at bedtime
a protection that lives on
long after
the lights go out
