shortly after
or before
the domestication of fire
on a verdent, windswept heath
a living ancestor
in pain
in love
moved her breath in such a way
so as to make shapes
and colors in the air

and on that same day
another ancestor
saw and knew
that her eyes could fill
with heart
and rain
could water
the little garden in her ribs and belly
