Awkward Creature |
---|
What a curiously awkward creature I am!
So precariously balanced
atop long spindly extremities.
So delightfully waterproof,
hermetically sealed
yet open to the world!
So comfortably housed
in my weak and frail shell
of bones tendons, membranes and soft tissues,
carefully constructed
with little pieces that interlock
and fit together just so!
So fragile and yet resilient!
Crush me, break me, rip me open
and my fluids may leak from me
but somehow I will manage
to hold on, ever so tightly
to this life thing,
to my precious motors and sensors.
What a terribly odd creature I am
that can make so much
out of so little!
Cast adrift
by the stormy seas of sorrows
smashed
against the rocks of hope
and left stranded
on the shores of uncertainty
with little
but a blind and naive faith.
And still I manage
to protect this viewpoint
this stake in the universe
this little piece of awakedness
this mind
that I so fiercely hold on to
that clothes me
and contains me.
How in the world is it
that I've come so to be?? Copyright © 2011 Erick Calder |
