Creation 1


Start

Make a moment
mean as such,
for time only has
moments to offer,
even as we waste
such precious opportunity
grabbing for the hour.

Discipline

To allow,
for Creation only asks
we make something,
a table,
a poem,
a garden,
a monster.

Pause

Create that which is you,
and forget not
the slam of a bone
upon the earth,
as Zarathustra's cymbals proclaim
a tool of old,
a beginning,
a language,
an opportunity.

Resolve

Go beyond.
Forget not form
as it is but an axis
for either
our own ruin,
or our own invention.

Live

Just as mammals feed their own,
so too do some eat their own.
Let us not forfeit
our mammalian capacity,
reason and choice.

Create

For we can behave
as cetaceans or homo sapiens,
felines or canines,
birds or rodents.

Never blame imperfection.

Remember…

Creation
just
is.
