Lower Than Ground

Given grace, I sleep into no more stupor.
That's my brace: a cooperative environment.
And I am a mere member, a blade not yet mined
from far beneath the grass.

That's earthen potential energy, and I do not
even have iron. I am more like a hydrogen
below the stratospheric limit and unable 
to clearly express my position. 
That is as good as it gets.

A river's droplet goes 
as the ocean calls
and the salt will bind
to make a brackish commitment
and not be wholly drunk.
