I hear you in the shooshing leaves
blown into stardust
trees alight with life,
bowing in prayer,
caressing bats and butterflies -
all love surround.
Upside down cake blue glass jarred
and labelled -
Life Now!
Babe breasted and milked
swathed and swatched in cream soft
skin.
The butcher knows where place the knife
carve the Sunday
Into Life!
All celebrate a birth in blood
first time and last breath wonder.
Feeding from toe and tortoise
cricket and lotus yellow,
we dive up and swallow life whole
arms breaching
broken waves reaching
head first body surfing into
our first breath.
