ENVIRONMENTAL Poem: The earth is sick, by Jana Tvorogova

and it’s body is splitting in half
because it is sick, sick, sick
blue eyed and sick
green eyed and sick
unbrave in bed and sick
not rotting
because rotting became a trend now
maggots are in fashion
so it just exists in bed sick
misunderstanding itself
ribs crack sometimes
but do not break
skin cracks sometimes
but does not break
because everything breaks these days
and rots, rots
rotting is just not original anymore
so it is, simply, with no style
no hanging tree outside
no maggots
no rats under its bed
