Phoenix Expanding

No grabby
Material axis-
Astounded this fundamental 
Fact of blistering depth-
How meaning wraps inside

Taking hold as you open
A netting to be grazed
By the spirit of nuance

Our fruit grabbing, knee jerk flattered
And upward rejection keeps
Consciousness at its sliver
Like Pavlovian organelles

Somewhere back the atom-split
Nietzschean absurdity left
Our borders bulging
With nothing left to do 

Assuming inherent harmonics
Reapply the will to grace
Re-energizing a forgotten fate
And capturing passion
On this expanding phoenix
