For the July Reading, Today


Subsumption
I
An act of volition
subsumed in a translucent, viscous relationship,
a love begetting futures like honey 
in a tree-trunk hive.
Altogether a brightening morn with dew moist grass,
sky promising rain to those flowers 
from whence comes the love of honey 
every long day.

II
As such, the emotional connection is a fluid promise
between communities of two, three, four, and so many more than 
seven-
as children of the mind and sea,
heart and valley,
belly and massif,
soul and gorge.
Repetitive and underground in the midst of a prototype global economy,
parasitic, predatory, socially scientific;
fissures naturally swell in the doors of perception 
as sinewy, ravenous rakes sweat out the harvest again.

III
Thanks again to a future begotten
in a tree hive with blackening storm clouds
closing fast,
loam and gut digesting the verge as do male and female in their own way;
Crest and trough, 
Peak and valley 
the snapping beak and shrewd eye of a raptor sweeping that same harvest field
near to the tree
where the bees make their honey 
and we plan that they will for a long while  yet.
