dr_con Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Current Histories "Be joyful though you have considered all the facts." - Wendell Berry The world you came out of well to be fair The World We came out of is a cartography of abattoir everything eats everything the eye that beholds is more biome than human and the greatest myth we created when forest spat savannah but after feathered serpents became pools of our own undoing A longgame revenge pact extinction on extinction on extinction back to basic building blocks Try Again! Try Again! Try Again! Till some combination of clay creates a clockwork creature a symboless golem or rather Until micro self-organizes reinvents macro and for a moment forgets later off course We remember No difference between sense making primates a carrot a clam a cicada a currant except in expression Now show me The Face Before and again After We were Born.

tonyv Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 We watch Earth, and Earth watches us back. I would go further -- farther! -- to say that we, like Bowers' Astronomers, watch the universe, and the universe watches us back. Those faces on Mars come to mind. Still, there are a few animals that prefer the company of mankind to that of their own. A snake is not one of them. Neither is a lion. Raise a lion, bond with it even, but one day the lion will eat you ... or at least kill you. Loved the poem, Juris.

dcmarti1 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 "everything eats everything" I heard once: "all life is a holocaust" "symboless golem" I might go insane trying to "see" that. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
