part 3 - living poem

7/10/06

thewords play in the space between meaning,
dancing back and forth across a line-------------
that separates our ----selves ----from the world.

relentless in the reach for light,
flower growing in the garden,
this poem breathes.

this moment of breath observes
where life arcs that g-a-p
between universal chi filling my lungs
and the eager, thirsty heart
pumping and panning my bloodstream.
life flows from open air to open water,
and scratches for soil inside my heart.

inside that space between alveoli and corpuscle
spins an imaginable particle
filled with the will to love.

poem breathes in the space betweenus,
out from alveoli into corpuscle.
