a hand and a leaf

a branch and an arm

a foot a twisting root

 

large horizons

closing in

circling back

 

doubling distances

touching in a fold

 

a gush of wind

sweeping the grass

ants like pearls

 

eyes like dew

forming at dawn

skin as soil

 

soil as felt

on fingertips

 

composting

worlds and

sensible spores

 

carrier of more

 

bodies

belonging

to rivers

to moving waters

 

flowing and

slowly becoming

 

unmade

undone

and one

at once
