eco-horror is a genre. 

the horror is happening during the production. 

what once was background is the production now.

the real can be depicted but not contained.

what is real we do not know. 

you can have split screen but it's  hard to watch both at once. 

there's a dissonance in the echo. 

what ghouls in politics and the toxic industries. 

people try to imagine them as characters. 

what will happen to us and them next. 

we are hoarse from shouting on line at the powerful who don't care, 

who utilize the common loss like gas on their fire.

when talking animals lose their voices will nature speak for them? 

there are it's said creatures underground that will survive nuclear war.

but when we go underground we can't live long. 

in burrows of smoking earth we'll be cradled by roots.

i remember the back to nature movement when i was a kid. 

i remember peace signs were cool, 

meanwhile the wars went on.
