“Conservationists who want to cosset nature like a delicate flower,
to protect it from the threat of alien species, are the ethnic cleansers of nature,
neutralizing the forces that they should be promoting.”

“I’m addicted to the entire planet.
I don’t want to leave it.
I want to get down into it.
I want to say hello.
On the beach, I could have stopped all day long
and looked at those damned shells,
looked for all the messages
that come not in bottles but in shells…”

Bloom bloom, in desert lily
Thirst, sand, mirages silly,
White petals, fairy’s wings
Hope and love, thy petulant twigs!

I’m a beautiful

yellow wildflower,

short lived

before becoming a

shiny silvery white,

spherical seed head —

waiting to be

blown away.
