Creaturehood

Fully embraced creaturehood-

I throw off the shackles of man

Those inching forward gripping hands

I am pristine, each vertebrae notch

Nerves flow, aligning axis of earth

 

The sound of wind enters profound

i stand forthright, the creature I am

Summoning gargoyle strength

The lion of the sun untapped

 

Chopping wood, furnishing flowers

nature caressed knows no hours

My jaw finally rests and sets- an achievement!
Solidity of creatures nested among others

Birds and pollen, rocks and wood

Man relinquishes all power

As i sink into creaturehood
