Last night I dreamed. Of melting ice and dying polar bears.
Bare feet in the snow, frost bitten.
And the air was filled with the cries of the seals with no place to land.
I wondered about the selkies. Will they have to shed their skins?
Forever doomed to roam the earth, forever longing for the sea.
Will their bones collapse under the weight of the wanting?
The frozen ice crackled, and I woke up with a vision of blood on the snow
and the taste of loss in my mouth.
this really put tires in my eyes <3
ReplyDeleteHeartbreaking. The warming up of the earth is a matter that concerns us all and your poignant words perfectly capture my feeling of helplessness. I wish global governments would act, act now, before it is too late.

Humans are cruel and the bears are innocent. Hope ice can stop melting so that the bears can live better.
