a culmination of past

       a birth of future

a day

written on skulls
   and written on a Mother to be

there are 24

an octave
     in three parts
                     harmony

                 hours
            until
it is somebody
                elses

the form follows
       itself

the letter becomes the word becomes
the page
becomes
              the book
left
          for the immortal to read

         who tried
and tried again
and again

             and it will succeed

finally

    to teach:

               we recieve
       we organise
we
     transmit

the nerve cells
the nerve of the cells
                 to be
            miniatures of us
oh the arrogance
  that we can deny
          what is in front of
      our face

          what is alive?
the being
          but what makes us human?
the blindness

no
fools
          we

Excellent weave, Bri...
the birth of the day...
and how we grope about
in wonder...

Just excellent!

and how I wish I could write like this...like fragments of dreams remembered, slowly unraveling an epiphany.
