a body contains
metals forged in suns,
oceanic salts,
microbes and memories
of all the zillion beings
c
a living being is a bubble
that rises from a sea of potential,
floats free for a moment or a century,
then falls to merge again into that ocean
e
Earth is our cradle and our crucible –
We grow out of it,
walk upon it,
and return to it –
on it we build
our eden, or our hell
a
a body is a tube,
and what passes thru that tube
is transformed into animal life –
awareness, too, is a tube:
what passes thru a person
writes a story in time
