Future-Past

Writing not for current ears,

writing for a thousand years

 

Writing not for time undone,

writing for the zero-sum

 

Writing not for love or hate,

writing not to legislate

 

Writing neither first nor last,

writing for the future-past

A Baby Born

(short version)

 

Science wants to father

—what nature mothers best

 

 

(long version)

 

Atoms in the void,

voices in the wind

 

Long to be connected,

where do we begin

 

Science wants to father,

what nature mothers best

 

A baby born beyond their reach

—the Muse to then contest
