The hubris of human-caused climate change is killing the Buddha

Still Life
CC Jean Stimmell: 3/30/17

In the teeth of the coming cataclysm

 of human-caused climate change, 

the ghost of Buddha laments that 

we have poisoned the spring of 

Rebirth and Eternal Return.

Reincarnation will be no more.

Wild cows cast accusing stares 

at the few remaining humans,

survivors of the great extinction:

our climate-change apocalypse

**My original photo of steers in Strafford NH, standing atop huge pile of debris, was taken 7/25/15. Today I added five skulls and a poem. CC Jean Stimmell

Gazing Darkly through the Trump Looking Glass

CC Jean Stimmell: 3/17/17

With the election of Trump, 

we  have stepped through 

the looking glass into an 

alternate world of 

mean-spiritness
misogyny
violence

racism

where only

the fittest

and richest 

will survive.

End of the Line: A metaphor for our times?

Artifacts wash up

with the spring melt:

Skeletons

of civilizations
– and species– 

gone bust

Or, perhaps, an inverted metaphor for our times?
