two seeds
Two seeds half red
half dark as a chocolate night.
I bet they taste as sweet
as I imagine it.
Consciousness and energy
vitality and eternity
danger and protection
destruction and
transformation.
Two seeds half north
half south as the southern cross.
I bet they blew from the same
prehistoric molten mass.
Jungle and eucalypt
desert and rain
ocean and mountain
Everest and
abyss.
Two seeds half yours
half mine to hold to my breast
in deepest darkest night
when reality sleeps.
Brush and ink
water and fire
(man and woman)
language and silence
distance and
wishing
to be close.
