Resurrection?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What an interesting thought\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Living proof of the soul of this planet<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Whose clothing is us.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And when a strong strand loses her head,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

She thinks herself into form.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Exactly the same as before\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With his permission, of course,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

After her apt logic gave him no choice.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou said I have everlasting life!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So he repaired her in the ether<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

On the carpenter\u2019s bench.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

She chose her eyes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOrange!\u201d she said. \u201cAnd my nose like a bird.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou will scare them,\u201d he laughed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou will scare them enough as it is.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Are you sure you want to go back?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYes, I am. I want to be a grandmother!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Nothing dies. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Death is never death where there is love.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We are all life as life has become,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Evolved throughout the measures<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Of this universe.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We spank along through empty space,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Like jewelry round the neck of a flame.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Her face, glowing, seeks nothing, being light.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And we, her children, travel along, <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As children of her living child.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Resurrection?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

She simply won a fight with God.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
