dirty-breathed, it lies awake thrumming with a pulse its own veins feeding integument coursing with humanity its bejeweled breast reaching shaming the heavens themselves weaving progress ... with the stars. ~ 1st Place ~ in the "Finish Line In Seven" Poetry Contest, Nette Onclaud, Judge & Sponsor. ~ 3rd Place ~ in the "Brian's Choice G, Any Form, Any Theme" Poetry Contest, Brian Strand, Judge & Sponsor.

Such a contemplative and deep evaluation of our connection of our progress, and where it lies with our connection to the universe that serves our needs. Very interesting Greg. Loved the idea of "dirty-breathed" slanted to the personification.
