In an ancient,
moss-covered chapel
in the old growth forest
lives an earth mother
who lost the hormone
that allows her to cope
with cruelty.
Our lady of empathy
is sickened by stories
of disappearing species.
She lost her immunities
so, guards herself
against the infection
of violence.
This hermit nun
feeding her feral cats
may save us; be the balance
to self-made commandos
with guns in helicopters
flying sorties against
a fox.
