PROMPT 2

I. FIRST

 

Lately I cry when I recall my blood

what is this pain?

 

be it biome biology

be it blood iconography

 

looking out the window of tolerance

across the field of compassion 

 

if all our eyes had the clarity of apples

 

Each living thing remakes the world 

through seasonal pulses of growth

 

In each crack 

an orchid growing

 

These berries with their choices

Come to earth

 

 

 

ii. COME TO EARTH

 

if all our eyes had the clarity of apples

 

Come to earth

 

looking out the window of tolerance

 

across the field of compassion 

 

what is this pain?

 

lately I cry when I recall my blood

 

these berries with their choices

 

be it biome biology

 

be it blood iconography

 

through seasonal pulses of growth

 

each living thing 

 

remakes the world 

 

an orchid growing

 

in each crack

 

iii. EACH LIVING THING

Remakes the world

 

 

Iiii. IN EACH CRACK

 

lately I cry

the clarity of apples, these berries with their choices, an orchid growing.

the window of tolerance

the field of compassion

my blood
