Navel Gazing

The universe
In my navel
Where it all began
From the mother of all mothers
tongue tied 
to a tree
naked
No wool to pull over these eyes

They're up here by the way

Pondering the microcosm of a belly button
The flora and the fauna

Crazy when you think that
By the sum of our parts
We are outnumbered ten to one and

Eve didn't even have a belly button


How do ya' like them apples?

Craig Cornish Date: 11/25/2017 7:43:00 AM Refreshing to read a "thinkers" poetry, and one not afraid or unable to give it a face. You are among the few where more than one read or perhaps two or three create more angles each time. Login to Reply Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 11/25/2017 8:30:00 AM An incredible compliment Craig, thank you. I appreciate your use of the word angles, I believe I have a sculptor's brain-evident in the way I paint and wordsmith. A wonderful day to you! xomo :)
