They leave me, as I leave them:
flesh, bones, blood,
violated corpses,

fossils of flies and insects
that do not last a day.

A half mind searches
another half,
half understood
by the other half,

a half-eaten butterfly, tastes
honey, searches
for its prey,
a worm on a leaf (eating,
being eaten) decomposes
into soil—
names and forms—
diffuse and erase.

I like this. It makes me think of a game of cat and mouse.

the balance between decompose and compose is a fine tipping point and, at such a place, it is quite easy to stand aside and view objectively the current direction we are going in and what exactly is taking place. I love the diffuse atmosphere and emotional tone that is conveyed through very tangible and readily visualised images. I very much like the couplet - so many times I feel that, between morning and evening, a complete thought process has undergone what you here so dextrously describe, travelling 360 dust to dust. But hey... it's the fossil fuel our creativity burns on, yes?! :)) Always thought provoking, Debs. Thanks xx
