we fade daily (tanka trio+)

dollops and dogmas
the commandment zone oil well
an outdated mule
out to pasture / in the drum
something off-key this way hums

all is commercial—
the conifers / the lightning
sponsored by exxon /
flooding brought to you by shell /
wildfires subsidized by us

a dash of access
a collection of comforts
slushy cowardice /
paralyzing nutrients /
the unspeakable

a death like goldenberry

What I’m Reading: 

… Unfortunately, most sectors are still terribly underprepared for the changes that need to take place, and harmful fossil fuel industries are still receiving subsidies of $1 million every minute.
