Let your life be

Let your life be

An offered breath returned to life,
A baby’s kiss gifting remembered softness
in its suddenly spasm, clutching instinctively
to the mother ship now certainly untethered,
still knitted invisibly amid negative spaces
through which blue nightsky
glitters, bringing dancing illuminated furies to those receptors of human vision,
a magic orchestrated multiple millennia past
& carrying memory's starseed to continue its replicated scattering
the gathered bits of verisimilitude to some schemata
originally designed in some particular specific configuration
the DNA whose weave you & you alone can possibly dance.
Share in slightly shrill & off key operatic
Soliloquy the chanting mermaids in the singing, stinging sea
Laughter  freckling the known coordinates
of air waves where you in brief human form had passed
in synchronous & instantly disappearing

Breath, the perfect elegy.
