(upon inspection of varicose veins) Above and below married Micro-cosmically, not as Hermetically sealed As previously thought. Something very physical reveals itself In the hue of everything spiritual, Connects outside with inside, Branching outward, eternally grounded, Charged with the memory of the throbbing core; The vain pulse of plasma Ostracizing the sun. The outward branching, leafless as slumbering trees, Remember the warm center As they gaze into the light of a frozen world.
