*less and less nature is nature
peace banner moves all but those who should be moved
not star wars dammit space music
i'm committed to your maleness even more to the moon's femaleness
solstice women gather unwrap the moon
no wonder beethoven went deaf

dear god thank you for telling our forefathers to kill the native peoples so we could have this land and thank you for all the rivers ponds and oceans into which we can dump our toxic waste in jesus name amen
