Hold the moon carefully,
it’s very fragile
so easily broken
by the human touch
just like the earth was broken,
just like the earth is broken
by that same touch.
Perhaps the world ends here
its tears falling like autumn leaves
weeping
to its end
with a whimper.

Lovely, but I hope the earth fights back and just shakes us off. Then it can lays back and bloom without us.
