Dearest elizabeth bishop

Dearest elizabeth bishop,

We need to practice losing more than keys, cities, lovers and vaster
things still.

Coming to accept the truth of the collapse of our civilisation has been
hard.

I have been angry.
I have been depressed.
I have been in denial.

And now I can accept it.

But its so bitter knowing what I know.

There is no safe place.
We can't run away anymore from the problems our ancestors created.

Accepting the loss of the environment for my grand kis was the hardest.

Likely we are not yet done.
