»Life as a Metamorphosis«

by Mashell Chapeyama

The valleys seen in their sand-grayness
Whorls of trees, shrubs, grasses
That several years where suns, moons, stars of the earth,
Once littered the veldts like rock granules have disappeared
Capturing the distant past and placing it abreast with the present
Puzzles environmentalists and even the ignoramuses

Once flat terrains are gorges; now the land's esophagus
Where water passes by in tides, volumes or bubbles
With greater velocity than a meteorite.
Old marshes are deserts, carved by time
Impacting the climate negatively-
Impacting every ounce of matter under the turquoise sky-
Even humanity, too, evolves; where even every man metamorphose
Mentally, biologically, emotionally, socially-

Waiting for another tomorrow to appear-
Probably a new heaven and new earth-
Greener than the Adamic Garden of Eden.
