celebrating and creating our own LGBTQI+ history in honour of Sheila McWattie

Day fifteen

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
