simplistic forms of rationality by temi rose
simplistic forms of rationality aid in scientific discover
but make living whole wholly impossible
like napalm rapidly defoliating
fecundity in living organisms
if you take seriously the possibility of peace
ineluctable grace
displace disgrace
with a butterfly nectar invitation to play
carefully unfold piece by peace
the subterfuge of counter attack, parry and thrust
stop firing before all your ammunition is gone
I will still be here whole but strong
laughing as the sun peeks through th e clouds to shine on raindrenched
fully seeded ground
plants hiding, hoping to be able to rise on stalks strong enough to move mud
and intermediate twixt earth and sky
let the hunter’s keep their creed - abruptly disorient
make your prey as uncomfortable as hell
then kill it - eat it - and shit whatever’s left back into the river
