Non-renewable: A Poem

do not put your faith in falsenesses
in those renewables that are not renewed 
through death birth and unfolding life 
but through the uprooting of earth’s bones
blood flesh and guts the very heart of 
things that will stop beating stop being
even when the sun keeps shining and
the wind keeps blowing though there 
are no longer leaves skin or lungs
