This planet onto which women
birth us: it's lit by an explosion
we call Sun. I think about
how that statement's parts
are all unlikely. Preposterious.
As is the visual, aural sign,
"preposterous" & the systems
it belongs to. Ask why any
of this, any of us, occurred,
and I think if we're honest,
we must confess, "We cannot
know--not ever fully, all the way."
