the world burns or freezes
in lava flows or icy winds
ash fall surrounds us
in a susurrus as though snow
yet we survive...
and so
become extremophiles
we cling to life in hydrothermal vents
or huddle for warmth beneath a borealis sky
round fires tell ancestor tales of placid lives
wondering where or when or why
our predecessors let Gaia die
