by Victoria Twomey

Time arrives with a flaming arrow
with ever-counting fingers
pulls back tight against its unbreakable bow
 
releasing into being its declaration
its newly begotten, already a sparking seed
ablaze with the wisdom of bloom
 
watch closely and learn morula
you are a child of the ever-facing forward, of miracles
and so much more
