The Best Still Inside


When you send out into the world
the best you have to offer,
the best that is still inside you will arise.

But only if you want it to.

  1. Allopatric Speciation

    Once this binary
    Reproduction has played out,
    A third species will
    Leap, mind transformed, into space,
    Light-years beyond the human.

  2. It slowly bludgeons into you.
    Your head aches with resisting it.
    Desire is even harder when
    you know that you've been missing it.

  3. Desire and guilt -- gifts that keep on giving.

  4. What fuels carnivores
    is death: need and shame are twin
    incisors. I eat,
    becoming both what I eat
    and the way I consume it.

    Can an animal
    turn itself into a tree?
    Yet soil, too, is death--
    twice-worn flesh, leaves sanctified
    by worms, whose mouths embrace all.
