Cath Laudine, 2006
Water dripping in the silence
Ice melting in the quiet white
No one to hear the sound of ice melting
Earth becoming warmer
'Though pollution blocks the sun
Listening for the sound of ice tears falling
Listening and taking heed
Listening to the need
Methane extinguished nearly all life
Two hundred million years ago
Loosed from its crystal cage by ice melting
Frozen Arctic tundra
Still retains this deadly threat
Listening for the sound of ice tears falling
Listening and taking heed
Listening to the need
