Escape Tangent
fossilized
witness
snap
shot
evolutionary
decay
perhaps
only an ellipse
an end
to playing
angles
no more
space
in Sierpiński's
triangle
to replicate
pressure
to comply
or be
excluded
from tribe
understand
natural selection
is always exclusionary
escape tangents
auger reality
Helical Foundations
thrown from the vortex
to buttress the earth
pursued by ravenous wolves
into the deep belly
of the lupine beast
an aura sullied
by avaricious clutches
a mind rattled
by lying lips
pleasure enslaves the will
blood-lines entwine
her psyche split in two
generational expansion achieved
her duty is fulfilled
yet still, she faces
predatory eyes
produce more
or die trying
her freedom and youth stolen
so helices can split
and twist
forever through time
the blood must flow
the foundation must hold

Quiet your thoughts
Free from the tremors
That disturb the soil
You’ll discover the seed
From which all grows
Roots, shoots, and leaves
There is no separation
Even a severed limb
Grows again in the same soil
Comes from the same seed
Entwines with established roots
The kindest grandmother knows
Nothing is lost when she waters
The garden of another
When winter comes
You will return to soil
Knowing spring follows winter
Birth follows death
