Before The World Is Green
2017
By Tanya Erickson

The dewey frost sits upon the barren blades

Before the world is green

 

The shadows of the buildings tall and grey

Before the world is green

 

The slushy snow melt in the gutters of the salty streets

Before the world is green

 

Broken branches hang from skeleton trees

Before the world is green

 

Creepy crawly critters entombed in their earthen homes

Before the world is green

 

The canvas overhead with oranges, blues and reds

Before the world is green

 

The hum of existence mumbles behind the walls

Before the world is green

 

The stiffened joints of moving parts

Before the world is green

 

The frosty edge of society

Before the world is green

 

The disillusion of the warming sun

Before the world is green

 

The solid ground frozen beneath our booted feet

Before the world is green

 

The heavy soul shrouded in clouds

Before the world is green
