EARTHKEEPING NEWS A NEWSLETTER OF THE NORTH AMERICAN COALITION FOR CHRISTIANITY AND ECOLOGY Volume Two, Number One September/October 1992 Gulf War I think you're a cormorant, victim in oil slicked like velvet, a cloak that weighs down and is deadly, useless burden you happen to carry. Pressed on you now in our stead. No refusals come from your closed beak, though you sink hopelessly deeper. The camera spares final submersion. Instead it spans beaches where you and your kind wash up when it's over, where your death quickens life in this mythic and ritual act that creates our repentance.
