Root Cap

a savage nest

the dark light carries is what holds us together from the start & without this
the dark light would carry no morning tomorrow

the stars

sleep

to die is to receive what is life-giving
can a seed bare itself a more perfect oblivion?
each & every seed surrenders the once & future tree
no, not that god is—but death will be!

to step into

the light makes it way by dark by the way the dark is light
to wake makes it way by sleep by the way the rest is a dream
a god will wake as she makes her way to rest by the way the rest
is not what it seems

a  river

existence

for seed it is death to become & for death life
for the one a sea that leaves the earth, for the other
a flood

the wind

the-endless-no-more

desire will live forever but the garden will die
if the presence of either depends upon the pleasures
of nectar that sex provides

a squash blossom
