Origami Organism

Watch me unfold

I mime the angelic steps to grace.

 

Watch the Earth unravel

Like a view taken from outer space.

 

My, dear –

Our days aren’t many... but our lives are our legacy.

 

When the Eye consumes the World

I’ll rest inside the dirt – I’ll fossilize my fears.

 

I’ll crumple up the pain – and set it bright aflame.

On my way to Heaven, I’ll instill that rich embrace.

 

And all that’s left of my body –

Will collapse like cellophane.
