Dwarfed
Meditating, bunnies cerebrally
Trace the tallest peaks, lowest vales
In its gnarled sinuous fissured surface.
An ancient petrified monolith
Hosting microcosms of benign
Coexistence within a mostly
Silent ancient sentinel.
Eons spent photosynthesising poisoned airs
Into breath; croaking, creaking, groaning-
Burdened by arterial routes connecting.
Plagues of embattled humans procreate,
Nesting lengths of engorged dwarfed limbs.
Bunnies ponder, what will happen next?
The journey of the picture began with random blobs of water. The tree evolved from teal watercolour and salt. My husband turned two wooden Easter bunny gifts into stamps.
The picture inspired the poem.
Lovely progression of the pairing. I particularly like how the bunnies are witness to what’s happening. Also love the line about photosynthesizing the poison air-beautifully put. Nature is always trying to heal us, despite how destructive we are.
Thank you, Bridgette. I appreciate the feedback.
Love the bunnies’ wondering what the heck we humans will do next…….we are the enemy.
Thank you for letting me know, Eileen.
Eons spent photosynthesising poisoned airs
Into breath. Lovely! This covers eons of oxygen production into our atmosphere.
Thank you, I’m pleased you like it.
