A POEM
It is
on the fringe of being
that life exits
Cusped on a wave
of subtleties
driven in vacuumed
holding tanks
Held
before each humyn
invisibly attached
Exhaled
in moments of pain
seared into
blood genetic memory
Carried
through time
not measured
but staked
Your life my life
the ones who were
the ones that are
on the way
The no legged
the crawlers the winged
the hop jump
and swim away
The two four six
and multi-legged
the sway-ers
the droopy the clinging
the Stay put
We
We’re all the same
inhaling
held up at crest
inside the oceans’
heave ho of air
no one exempt
stop start where when
each step unfolds
on the fringe
of being
yours mine everyone’s
into infinity
dressed
holding space
in scared black holes
Chartered
further still
beyond
our recognizable universe
cradled in
Voyager’s Golden Records
A beacon carrier
of our DNA
emitting
emitting
Dot dot dot
Dash dash dash
Dot dot dotDot dot dot
Dash dash dash
Dot dot dotThe illusion
of being fringed
Simply traveling
a dot dash away© olivia chumacero
