John Donne: The Sun Rising
New pigments populate the palette.
All shades are considered vegan-
friendly, easy to incorporate into
your diet. Even bees are considered
sacred. Not so coffee grown in the
sun. Has been taken out from under
shadow, the natural canopy cut down
to make that so. The driver wealth,
to produce much higher yields, more
money for the grower. No hint of
alchemy, especially that part of it
concerned with prolonging life. No
natural forest so fewer insects &
migratory birds. No falling leaves
to provide compost as they rot so
more fertilizer, more water needed
to produce. Trees used to rise behind
the setting sun. No longer. No honor.
