the defense of asheville

Another poem I wrote, about Asheville N.C., meeting the gardeners and sculptor friends of my mother, they had created an amazing garden and even more amazing steel tyrannosaurus rex sculpture about 10 feet tall, thank you Felsons, and Roy Crystal. When I wrote this "green" was not an advertising word.

the defense of asheville

thor and gaia
in their beautiful home
defend asheville
from the filthy poisons      the grinding crushing roaring metal beasts
crushing her seedlings and her children

      her rivers must flow clear!
      waters blessings must not be corrupted

DEFEND !
we all must defend!
how can we grow if we eat and drink poison?
we will die like the dragons
with his metal beasts
thor joins the defense
we are meat after all
let us not be eaten by our own creations
the road fights the river
if we are not green beings
we will die

1997 for the felsons and for my brother roy crystal
