Nature’s Revenge

I’ve been to the grand council of trees,
their patron snowy elderberry
bushes blending like perimeter scouts,
foxholes set and covered to catch
a careless boot. It has come to this:

The birds kamikaze with virus,
the polar caps dive like bears.
Nature returns fire
hurricanes quakes and waves.
And some of us, under cover,
give aid throughout the night.
