RE: Intersectional

in #poetry6 years ago

The overlapping or intersected identities and their respective systems of oppression are represented in the crossing of nature and that created by man. This intersection generates a variety of spaces where one type of environment is adjacent to the other. Asphalt and grass, solid waste and branches. Always affecting each other, fracturing order and symmetry, creating discordance.

Fracture-lines
like industrial wrinkles
remediated by tar:
mutated symmetries
that break down under scrutiny.

Man has invaded the natural space with his creations that in the long run become scrap metal, polluting the environment and generating more garbage than he is capable of eliminating. The gap between civilization and nature is increasingly insurmountable, because man is a predator of natural greenery and seeks to reproduce nature in unnatural artifices that drown life on the planet:

Furnish me not
plaques proclaiming great flights,
just to become rigid and shatter
in the world's toxic winters—

Every great technological undertaking has sequels that affect the natural order, denaturalizing nature, redundancy is worth.
