Pearls

 And so I look back
still thinking of her
with painful heart,
this clench of inner flesh.
—Kakinomoto Hitomaro from Manyoshu * Praise the irritant, that genesis, implanted within the soft and malleable animal that bore you.
* Your brethren strung around my neck, dangling from my earlobes.
The imperfections the jeweler slights, I praise.
* Artifact of a biological process, why do we expect symmetry from a grain of sand? * Praise the oblong beauty of you, solidified raindrops, your stony quietude.
* Let me praise the waters that bestow your milky luster, worshipped to ensure a bountiful hunt.
* Manyoshu poems praised the ama, female divers, who collected you, as gently as quail eggs.
* Let me rub you against my teeth to test the veracity of you, roll you around my tongue to weigh your heft.
* The heart clenches, hides its moon among clouds.
Would that I, too, could build a radiant world around a bitter nucleus.

The Conjugation of the Paramecium

 This has nothing
to do with
propagating

The species
is continued
as so many are
(among the smaller creatures)
by fission

(and this species
is very small
next in order to
the amoeba, the beginning one)

The paramecium
achieves, then,
immortality
by dividing

But when
the paramecium
desires renewal
strength another joy
this is what 
the paramecium does:

The paramecium
lies down beside
another paramecium

Slowly inexplicably
the exchange
takes place
in which
some bits
of the nucleus of each
are exchanged

for some bits 
of the nucleus
of the other

This is called
the conjugation of the paramecium.
