Burgeoned lands bravely
Threshed by life-bearing seas
Full bright drops
Makes this pebble
Stone blue

You crawled out
Into thick canopy cover
Rooted with ancient ones
Posthumous fibers binding petrified thoughts

A common chapter
In which one narrative nascent
Cloying in darkness and fear
Foils entropy pouring forth

If thinking is evidence
Wretchedness should be adequate
To make parallel wakes;
Small ripples of sequestered humanity

Surrounded by the sea,
A lone wave
Constructed and destructed each time
Pushes the Earth aside
Refining bare minerals and leaving naught
But the words alert
