lest we forget (blood)
Singer:esperanza spalding
fully submerged cells even
in denser places like thighs or nails or secret stomach aches
a constant tone accompanying the incessant muscling
lunged pendulums in threads of muted currents
ferrying air around and round it's labyrinthian orbit
through the fleshy underside of this
blood is ignited engine here at the core of all creation
with your key to our mystery's spark
bursting just beneath the surface
pushing time lapse blooms of newly aired blood outward
to central brain and each extremity
as different as they are all alike
veins patterned by fractal giving
oxygen you carry now within
a cell of blood threaded in
all parts of this body we too will grow to give and be
pulsing vast beyond our vein tips.
