And when they use our atoms to make new lives, they wont' just be able to take one, they'll have to take two, on…
He was becoming unstuck, he was sure of that - his bones were no longer wrapped in flesh but in clouds of dust, in hummingbirds, dragonflies, and luminous moths - but so perfect was his equilibrium that he felt no fear. He was vast, he was many, he was dynamic, he was eternal.
Unless you are here: this garden refuses to exist. Pink dragonflies fall from the airand become scorpions scratching blood out of rocks. The rainbows that dangle upon this mist: shatter. Like the smile of a child separatedfrom his mother’s milk for the very first time.--from poem Blood and Blossoms
