Divers

illusive wood work imitation of an inner fingerprint of endless

tree trunk design

the vine of which Thy left hand planted

a seer who speaks throughout 

the carvings

an interpreter

to protect

the sovereignty

of silence

was our very first language

before the division

but what if not a tower of babel

nor 

Mariana's great trench

penetrating

the sea of water

into sand

and more water

sand

dig deeper

more water

they said the center of the earth was fire

but now an ocean 

at the core

of our gravity

if the Dead Sea

did divide the One from the Other

if You stood here Man 

only one in all of time

like an apostrophe

between Heaven and Earth 

then

when there the seas part

when there water

quenches 

its final thirst

when the road

becomes a

lifetime 

map

of constellation,

it is one.
