Bring it out

naturetimelovemortality

Bring it out

Into the daylight

Where it can be seen

In a little more detail

The bones of it

The working theory

The process of identification.

From the bottom of the sea

It looks impossible

There is a sun out there.

Up above

Where mouth breathers walk

There is a cloudless sky

It is cluttered with stars

Only visible in half light

Nobody knows

What lies behind.

From the bottom

It looks impossible

To reach.

The gold

Shining in the blaze

Of morning

Finds its way

Into my heart,

Your eyes are as blue

As a desert sky

As deep as thought.

It is impossible

To be submerged

When I am

Floating,

Beyond evolution

Unafraid,

Suspended in aspic.
