    LAST DANCE, or CLIMATE TEARS

    by Gregg Dotoli





    the slow-burn endures
    as money-green carbon skeptics
    play a ravaging death dance
    acidic seas sway
    swinging  to que sera, sera
    wind blasted  trees stoop  like ballerinas
    to gusting cracking notes
    Swaying to que sera, sera
    polar caps melting
    spawning new dirges
    and puzzling eerie weather
    rainbows and lightning
    form natural stages
    for the  extant to extinct finale
    Biota in decline and decay
    Fragile and frail mumbles que sera, sera
    we're not here to stay
    we're not here to stay


    Gregg Dotoli studied English at Seton Hall University and enjoys living in the NYC area. He is a white hat hacker, but his first love is the Arts. His poems have appeared in Underground Books, Quailbell, London Journal of Fiction, Madswirl, Sunflower Collection, Ink Sweat and Tears, Metaphor, and other periodicals.
