In the beginning,
beginning begat
a collective definition
to say when collective
became a thing itself.
In the end, the end
is whenever we
state. I and thou
are rejoinders to
listen to both. We
press words into
serviceable shapes
as we theorize the
geometry of stars.
Each tree appreciates
a hearer, a feeler, and
a source of water.
Each bumblebee
dances to the rune
of where the flowers
are blooming for their
friends. Do not merely
lend your ears, donate
them without regard,
in the certainty that two
way streets are built
one direction
at a time. Origin,
infinite future,
explanations of presents
and gifts, parabolic moral
stories, death wisdom,
and uniquely, a way to
see each believer in anything
or nothing
as partners in this linguistic,
faithful life.
