un-rise
how will we handle
a no bouncing back mechanism
permanent change
we tell ourselves after rain comes shine
travel far and beyond to return home
work towards war during peace
the carbon dioxide will not leave
our seas will not un-rise
warming will not cool
there is no equilibrium to return to
arrival at this new normal
