Rabbit and Rose

beaded rabbit

Jump

I jump with evolution
As a child of the stars,
a witness to human frailty

I study the masters,
Mystics, prophets, poets
to absorb their magic

I propel mountains of knowledge
But fall back, poisoned by pollution
Broken by my own ignorance and innocence

My blood stores so many memories
every horrific mistake, every genocide,
Things I would just as soon forget
So I pray myself well.
