earth – a haibun

So small, so old and not as round as we’d like to think, nearing the used up date at a frightening speed as it hurls itself around the blistering sun; itself in decline. This ending – by the hand of man (it’s a fact). Yes, earth is dying by the hand of man; the gender-codified being who thinks it’s the universe. Would it have been different under a matriarchy? I wonder. And how will we now know?
