Malentine

 

I whittled a forest
to make your wooden leg
filled the sea with plastic
to give you clothes pegs
to build you a kitchen
I smoked the sky
to mold you a mudpack
I made the meadows sties
to keep your bath abrim
I dammed the streams
and levelled the hills
for the view of your dreams
I shrank the Poles to icecubes
to cool your drink
perfected scent on animals
to hide your human stink
I melted fleeting species
to make your eyelash glue
I’d love to find you flowers
but I’ve dumped the World for you.
