I Beat My Heart
I
The language of "being"
escapes language alienation
we don't say, "I beat my heart, -
but, "My heart beats"
even as "I breathe"
II
Babies are born OUT of the world
Much as flowers flower
The Earth peoples
Said the Man
Yet we say, "I was born into the world."
We thus choose NOt to be of the Earth
As the flowers just are, to say, "I am."
