About

I am environmental activist blogger mainly concerned with the problems of plastics in the environment.  I blog at www.fakeplasticfish.com. 

 

Currently, I'm working on a campaign to urge Clorox, maker of BRITA water filters in North America, to create a take-back recycling program like the one that already exists in Europe.

 

Please visit www.takebackthefilter.org for more info and to sign the petition!

This is My Heart
 
This is my heart. It is a good heart. 
Bones and a membrane of mist and fire 
are the woven cover. 
When we make love in the flower world 
my heart is close enough to sing 
to yours in a language that has no use 
for clumsy human words. 
 
My head is a good head, but it is a hard head 
and it whirs inside with a swarm of worries. 
What is the source of this singing, it asks 
and if there is a source why can't I see it 
right here, right now 
as real as these hands hammering 
the world together 
with nails and sinew? 
 
This is my soul. It is a good soul. 
It tells me, "come here forgetful one." 
And we sit together with a lilt of small winds 
who rattle the scrub oak. 
We cook a little something 
to eat: a rabbit, some sofkey 
then a sip of something sweet 
for memory. 
 
This is my song. It is a good song. 
It walked forever the border of fire and water 
climbed ribs of desire to my lips to sing to you. 
Its new wings quiver with 
vulnerability. 
 
Come lie next to me, says my heart. 
Put your head here. 
It is a good thing, says my soul.
