EMBROGLIO
This body a carapace
shell for molluscs of thought
a pack of gregarious senses
of inaudible resonances
happy loving hurt
As we join the circus of life
intelligent cells coalesce
encounter the earth minutely
while part of the planet completely
survival the quiet test
Plants, such givers of life
sharers and makers of water
of feelers, of roots, of rapture
and soundless orators
To wait is the hardest demand
on the human unsatisfied mind
on the human impatient heart
whose senses are truly refined
when dark, deaf, silent and blind
