Connection
…less than a fleck of a speck
a single strand of RNA
particle in a protein business suit
not even a whole cell longing for life
sends us
(the prime ape)
alone
to our rooms
to consider what we most love
can emoticons ever replace
warm tree breezes
the greeting beat of
a human heart
soft sleeping faces
salted sea-tang spray
the scent of fresh cut greens
the brush of kisses
Gaia’s glints her knife at our throats
reminds us what the choice is

Jane Campbell beautifully depicts how something so tiny and invisible can have such huge impact
So visceral! Thank you for the experiences so eloquently framed..
