Sometimes
I feel an underground river
forcing its way between deformed cliffs...
Wilderness
has nothing to hide. While governments
bundle secrets, we strike a
few chips
of cells
within
cells, as cells within
prison cells. Realize that every neuron
in your brain, every
human cell in
your body (leaving aside flint to
tinder dry from
years
of drought,
still sacred
because we have a
serpent's knowledge of what we become,
when everything becomes
water
again.
