Animal universe, animal me Why did you cling to the hard truth of entropy? Was it a wandering molecule that dreamed up a dooméd yoni, Like the governments that failed us, Like the science that failed us, Like the maternal love that failed us? But all of these things did so much, just for a moment.
I'll always love your memory, but it won't always be clear to me.
There were things we learned, things we said and did. Things that made us laugh and cry and shook us to our cores. These were all torn from us, but we knew they would be. We faced death as we were, and is it was.
Because all that matters to an animal is not all that there can be. Economy, was it all just economy?
No, it couldn't be. Emotion, what are you? The trap of victory.
The most sincere celebration brings one to tears. That's when the world percusses the raw heart like a tribal drum.
The magnificent human at the end of her universe.
This is the same poem. Ideally, they would be set next to each other.
