Everything Contains You
Everything contains you, more than a deadly toll.
You are light and darkness in a double bowl.
How one shimmers naked and cool.
Air of mother-of-pearl over water of pale opal.
Seeing, seen, dressed for the day dawn opens its oyster shell.
But the other broods quite and dusky,
also an oyster, but down deep where the sea is still.
Unopened, since the end of creation
defending the secret room of a mother's slumber.
Everything is you, the whole of my essence's goal.
You are the day and night in a double bowl.
