A poem about life and death and time and decay
Your giants make me think of life at the sea-bottom which exists on whalefall, the bodies and bones of dead whales feeding ecosytems for centuries. How much we lose sheltering from giants
Ohhh I hadn’t even considered that imagery but it’s so gorgeous. Definitely analogous to the poem.
Wonderful.
"I long to enter the current in which
they exist. Life and death
mingle in that river, turning over
one another in the flow."
Thank you! It’s so lovely to revisit old work and find that it still feels meaningful.
Incredible. Decay has been very much on my mind lately. I could sit with that penultimate stanza for ages.
I think it’s so interesting how decay begets new life. Everything is just constantly recycled. Definitely lots to think about.
