The Tale of Indigo

What is happening to our world?With heat domes, wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, windstorms, flooding, avalanches, ice storms, and more, we feel the wrath of the natural world. This is a big picture story of how and why.


The Tale of Indigo


Indigo and Sienna create the world and all its flora and fauna. Yet, they want to do more. They create humans, and endow them with the greatest gifts. But out of greed, humans take more than they need, poisoning and polluting the paradise Indigo and Sienna have created. In truly mythic manner, Indigo and Sienna exact appropriate punishment on humans. The outcome is massive-what we see now across the globe is only a taste of what is to come.

Is it too late for humanity to change the path we are on? Or is annihilation our future?

The Tale of Indigo is a 1,300-word creation poem that joins the discourse around climate change and suggests a vision about humanity that is stark and foreboding.

This poem is supplemented by The Quid Es, an additional fourteen poems from a poet who has been quietly observing and writing, and for whom, all is not so somber.Cavalarico Books
