A human body is made of water,
salt & dust I'm sure. Like coal
becoming diamonds, these animals
morph into laughter, breath
& animation. What god will not
delight in the miracle of chemistry?
What healing can this give me?
& when the rain falls tasteless
as loneliness, do I feel a kinship?
When the fire banks & the dust
flutter their redundant wings,
do I feel a kinship? When the salt
is tossed backwards to avert
the eyes of evil, does it touch
earth & say yes, I'm home? Break
my dreams, my beliefs, my fears,
my hungers into minutiae, what
is left if not water, salt
& indeed, dust? May day break
for each broken thing, may
the rust of old bones corrode
my unwilling body. To complete
this journey, one must end.
This is so beautiful and deep at the same time. Great work
