poem 37

missing you        you in particular
[evolving brilliant microbe shoved
a hundred mile gap indefinitely]
returning late into our siblingness
how very much twinness we share
seven years and a brother between
still an elephant patiently waits betwixt 

our puzzling still math holds sanity none 
and one magic zero late comer making 
algebra possible alchemy of numbers 
potions we drink to hold onto ratios λόγος
fibonacci spiraling gears angling arcs
geometry of love

in midst of soul jarring sickness
death’s madness steps aside as you
ever so gently lift from the rich damp
black womb and peel back hardened
bean hulls [who else would dare] so 

sprouts beneath might stretch unfurl breathe 
outdated seeds or not you risk love
ere all else so much so that knurls of age 

release your fingers momentarily making 
joints supple enough to aid birth
between zero and one lives chance
mystery defines love as unquantifiable
infinity within infinity
