did we come into this world?

did we come into this world?

or did we come out of it?

.

were we not born of it?

the stuff of scattered stars?

.

the story of the universe

written in our skin, our scars?

.

what if we saw ourselves as

more nature than human?

.

birthed by the earth

.

fed by the sun

.

billions

of unique

expressions

of one

.
