The Seed Psalm I am a seed, identic to brothers in all regards save one, I speak! If given the choice I'd be like others, mute, just one of many not given communion skills designed unique. Suspect, outcast genera shriven, a fatal infamy few would seek, all demurring to feel coerced one's role to speak. Who'd be the first to let man understand the mother's breast of warmest earth, the driven desire to die as life's rehearsed? Renew my name and multiply, the grave defame and death defy. Converse, that I, to live, will die, yet those who don't, must rot! We'd save what is most dear to us, we try, but life cannot! So speaks one seed which yearns its time. A welcomed grave will fruit the future sons I'll feed with food my case supplies, and pave the way till from this burgeoned breast there flows through earth's rebirthing test, a field of green. Saluting sky, let grasses grow with welcomed greed, abundant verdure the seed's behest, renew my name and multiply, the grave defame and death defy. --H. Arlequin . . . .

I love the idea of a talking seed - what a unique perspective and brilliant idea for a poem! |
