What We Cannot See
What We Cannot See

What’s on your mind now?
Mother fox nuzzling her kits
In a hostile world.
 
And bombs that rain down
Over broken desert lands –
Death that blooms in dust.
 
What’s on your mind, now?
Rivers flowing to the sea –
Arteries of oil.
 
Songbirds falling down:
Dying leaves in dying copse –
Things I cannot see.
