Revolution among the glaciers

So it does matter
this mix of chemicals
spewed
silent and deadly

invisible, check
potent, check
melting ice caps, check
reaking havoc on a planet, check

goes away by itself, negatory
silver bullets at hand, negatory
silver buckshot in the barrel, check
should we be worried, check

"Revolution among the glaciers" reminds me of Adrian Michell's "Time and Motion Study"

Death Might Be Just A Holy Rend

  Death Might Be Just A Holy Rend And life a faithful pillow - a pillow to go flat, a spirit to drift off,  glaciers to melt and raise the sea. The blueprint is clear - Expect a tiny storm of mercy–  full of crows and bottle flies to debride the corpse,  to tithe the land.      And respect the putrid demise - things that fall apart make space for miracles.   Yet there persists the memory of breath rinsed in lavender and salt air. Then the dreams for blood and semen to revive, to metabolize  every tired, sad gospel into a hatch of octopus. Death confesses everything as she conjures her necrosis, as she feigns redemption, fools us with false devotion. She believes our defiance will set her free.   We must let grief to be the thread and needle to darn the rend, renew the cloth. then we can grasp the nascent green of winter wheat in spring.
