The title poem from my new collection, Watch Us Burn: Poems for a Lost Earth, just published by Kelsay Books (https://kelsaybooks.com/products/watch-us-burn-poems-for-a-lost-earth). The lines of this cento in order of appearance are by: Theodore Roethke, Elizabeth Bishop, Anne Waldeman, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Margaret Atwood, Alberto Rios, Jane Hirshfield, W.H. Auden, T.S. Eliot, Rafael Campo, Carl Sandburg, Witter Bynner, William Carlos Williams, and Angelica Freitas (Note: Not all of the poems in my collection are this dark, but this blatant and yes, evil, destruction of our web of life calls for an unequivocal response.)
