Passage at Dusk

Here I am

Against all odds

with my 23 pairs of chromosomes

walking the vast Earth in a vessel

subsumed with that which was spinning inside the first atom of life

in the triple dark womb of space.

Here I am

a being whose likeness is like a flower seed that blossoms even when 

it is thrown into ice.

So when I end up being confined by that which birthed leviathan,

scatter me over the clouds

and let me be like the rain

so I can flow here and there

and travel all over the earth

and move into infinity's heart under the watchful eye of time.
