wild congruity

I just now experienced a sudden burst of love
for organisms.
For everything
that excretes waste and metabolizes energy,
from loam and air and sunlight
to leaf and blade and meat.
Especially, I thought

of amoebas and paramecia, then
sessile organisms - like trees
and fungi. Things

that travel by reproduction

where every step you take
roots you for life, to send life on
ahead of you.
All around you,
finding the directions
where goodness is.

I felt so beautiful

a surge of commonality
and community in this,

which is weird

given my propensity for emphasizing
alienation where identities are

too much concerned.
