from dreaming of water


  iii. womb

  water carries the scent
  of amino acids and nutrients.
  swaddling and a cradle,
  the sound of the sea heard
  from a distance.  weight has 
  a lighter sense here.  periods
  of sun and cold alternate, as in
  the larger world.  during the day,
  networks of curled blood vessels 
  streak the nearby walls, moving oxygen 
  to and fro.  i am rolling, on a journey 
  destined to end upon reaching the canal 
  to the new world, washed from wet 
  caverns into a room, full of 
  refrigerators.

  like atmospheric flashes,
  rare, luminous spirits
  of you appear in my
  thoughts.

  12. Transcendence 

  In Christianity, God exists as the Father, the Son,
  and the Holy Spirit.  In biology, each cell makes
  our body, yet they remain unaware of the whole.  In
  Buddhism, we are reborn into the various parts of
  this world: the cattle, the flies, the grass, and
  even the stones.  In quantum mechanics, an atom is 
  likely to be somewhere, but we cannot measure its 
  exact location.  In Zoroastrianism, the world and 
  all of its creations are composed of light and 
  darkness.  In physics, matter is neither created 
  nor destroyed; we exist as a form of energy.
