Within the Contained Behemoth


"Within the Contained Behemoth"

we think we travel
strange universes

in our planetary
reconnaissance devices, 
transporting initial 
contact communication 
for exporting 
potential new lives
for resettlement,

perhaps we are the
internal world 
of God,

we are 
the good 
and the bad 
of an otherwise 
invisible being, 
a central life source
we cannot see for dreaming,

because 
we are 
part 
of the internal sum 
immersed 
in the body 
of something much larger

and we, 
we are like
nerve cells, along which
impulses received 
from other cells at synapses 
connecting, are transmitting
to the larger bronchi,

travelling through 
the trachea we 
give breath and voice
to lungs that appear
like a galaxy, 
perhaps we are just

crystalline allergens
we are antigens 
and dust particles
debris to be 
removed with 
antibodies to keep 
the larger life 

genetically 
alive.
perhaps the code
not in us, but we, 
the code within 
the larger, are the 
internal messengers,

contracted 
like a virus,
eternally mined
within the 
contained Behemoth, 
conscious of its time,
it is, sustainably recycling
