>> With Rachel in Her Refuge
> 
> But man is a part of nature,
> and his war against nature 
> is ultimately a war against himself.    – Rachel Carson
> 
> 
> In this refuge named for you
> 
> trees topple now and lean
> 
> I see you in the shape of the land
> 
> your head to the east 
> 
> your sea-combed hair
> 
> spread across the marsh
> 
> your mouth the river’s mouth
> 
> your hands the estuary’s fingers
> 
> patient for spring
> 
> waiting as the blowdowns
> 
> erode your sides, slide and pull
> 
> the very earth of you oceanward.
> 
> Returning like sea water 
> 
> to salt pans, you wait
> 
> for the white-throat in the stillness
> 
> of snow falling on dry leaves,
> 
> wait for your voice to rise
> 
> through half a century’s abuse
> 
> into our time of wildfires
> 
> fracking    droughts    floods:
> 
> challenging man and his war
> 
> against nature once again,
> 
> a still small voice
> 
> still waiting to be heard.
