Lightning bolts thrash through the sky
From heaven to earth,
Not an inch is missed.
Wolves howl with glee
And pace back and forth.
Owls hoot and shake their wings
Deer leap over fences
Which divide stolen field from stolen field.
Lab rats scratch at their prison walls
Rabbits twitch their noses in anticipation
Calves break through crates
And return to their mothers.
Race horses run with no one telling them to do so.
Rain pours down all around us
Collecting deeply on the ground
Ducks waddle out and splash away
Snails crawl across pavement without being stepped on.
The power is out,
Cars pull over to the side of the road
And break down upon instinct.
Their metals remember where they came from
And sense that their time is up.
Oil remembers the dinosaurs,
And see the carnivores around them
Going extinct again.
The sound of silence
Is slowly replaced
By one of life.
People are afraid to go out at night,
Without any lights.
The air smells fresh and wild,
It’s time to take back what is ours.
