A perfect encapsulation of recent days, this plume of smoke from twin factory chimneys is a vivid representation of all that humanity has done to the earth. Maybe it’s producing heat for someone somewhere – I hope it’s worth whatever might be going into the atmosphere. I hope somehow we learn to embrace our planet. I hope… for more hope, even as I feel it dwindling away.
Sad,
pretty,
gorgeous – sun and
smoke and freezing sky.
A plume of pink, a bank of blue, and we are poorer for it.
