the sad advent calendar

the sad advent calendar 



the sad advent calendar 

every degree of warming

every centimetre

of ice collapse

of sea rise

stations on the cross that we have to bear


there are more stations than there are trains

express trains running away

the bridge on the river why collapses


there is no way back

enjoy the ride

ticking off the eye-spies

the slow immersive

boiling of the crabs


the winds of change are blowing

the wind farms generate more ire than fire

deforestation of the mind’s serotonin

self-harm the new religion

the rash of stigmata of the icons

is purloined by death


the deserts are flooded

the rivers run dry

grave diggers are digging their own epitaphs

the grass has withered 

it is time 

it is time


the book of the train of thoughts is finished

the engines of doom are underlined

at the end of the platform

all change all change

this train terminates here

it’s the end of the line
