a letter from earth

dear human,
i implore you
don't forget about me in a couple hundred years
when you have the technology to fly halfway around the world in one click
don't forget about me 
when you have so much to do
that you forget about caring for the place you live in
and put more pounds of plastic in the ocean than fish
don't forget about me
the planet that gave you air to breathe
food to grow
a place to live

don't forget about me when i
am in such bad shape that it's too late
to help me recover
alert the authorites 
keep protesting and marching and chanting
don't forget about me
love,
your mother (earth)

    red is the color of menstruation, it makes an apperance with no advance warning

    ballrooms aglow with smiles of the regency's finest,
    and only the most observant see miss daphne bridgerton bump into the duke.
