Earth of pollen and stamens
Of walls breathing in
Breathing out
With an expanding universe
Seeing with dim eyes, the spines
That hold up the nights
bending under the weight of our dreams
Dreams following a dim light
to the very edge of consciousness
There’s another light
This one cascades over shadows
And over the earth of silences
accumulating
In the segments we split
Earth of circles and chains
Of hands groping for the moon
Of bloodless hearts
Of stone souls
Of our blind feet
Stumbling down the path of being
