The Next Important Bed
toxicity
those who live by the sword
die by the sword
those who live by the fossil fuel fire
die by the fossil fuel fire
thanks be for the antioxidants
red pomegranates
green tea
blueberries
ten thousand years
before you were conceived
on cotton sheets
before a relationship evolved
and the events of your creation
were set in motion
ages before
your mother sat propped up in bed
with you nursing at her breast
something lived on the earth
something died
when you burn that fuel
it's shock and awe on your cells
blessed be the peacemakers
red pomegranates
green tea
blueberries
the choices you make now
influence where your body comes to rest
on the next important bed
