Creation Cannot be Contained

stone by stone, pavement consumes. 

swallowing what we know,

swallowing what we need.

layer upon layer, webs of contact

promising food, freedom, safety.

the promise becomes the problem.

stone by stone, pavement consumes. 

swallowing what we know,

swallowing what we need.

poles shift. the universe shrinks

and folds on itself,

connecting reason and rhyme

stripped, layer by layer.

creative energy and love sprout

food, freedom and safety.

sprout by sprout, pavement is consumed.

creation cannot be contained 

and provides what we need.
