Shrinking habitats
(Where it isn’t at)
Your sinking city
The world over
Where overlaps mean plague,
Blight, exhaustion
The brink
Doing only damage
To beauty spot
Or sacred site
Your flooded street
(Your) pointless summit
(Noun or verb)
Bunker, turret, off planet
The elites (do not disturb) –
Secure estate & space
Hotter & colder
Forever doing only damage
(Your spreading suburbs)
To esteem & place.
