Climate science is like a lighthouse – useless unless we notice it AND ACT the earth becomes barren…

Holocaust
The silence…
palpable
tourists alight…
silence deafens,
like Buddhists, walking, shedding no footfall,
slipper footed it seemed.
The air was light,
the breeze slight,
yet every heart was heavy.
Rows of sheds…
empty.
Tiers of planks named ‘bed’ where bodies had lain:
Nameless.
Objects of a crude economy,
measured and managed,
pulled,
pushed,
directed.
Objects transported to where we were standing.
No looking back.
The end of the line.
The silence…palpable…
We left…
silence…
never more
in peace
