Very Close
(upon inspection of varicose veins)
Above and below married
Micro-cosmically, not as Hermetically sealed
As previously thought.
Something very physical reveals itself
In the hue of everything spiritual,
Connects outside with inside,
Branching outward, eternally grounded,
Charged with the memory of the throbbing core;
The vain pulse of plasma
Ostracizing the sun.
The outward branching, leafless as slumbering trees,
Remember the warm center
As they gaze into the light of a frozen world.
