Unified field theory

Written Easter, 2011

What if Gaia is Pandora?
What if her jar hatches Easter Island
writ large? What if Allah, God, Yahweh
and Zeus conspire to turn Earth
into solar fryer and jungle mire.

Moai move like rooks across our land
spurring a Dark Age to descend,
till Hope, pale as mushroom clouds,
makes a last stand in a Yukon caravan.

Oh Prometheus, please steal fire from
mankind this time, empty our ears
of lust and hubris so we can't dismiss

Gaia’s raspy howl as Siren song, or ignore
the churning velvet roar of brewing storm.
