How deep can I go into the night,
into the forest of emotion – a song
before I understand
before I comprehend
before I remember
How deep must I dive –
to access the matrix of existence
to catch a worm,
a root
a fish
a star
to ingest the blood of a biosphere?
Oh, how I crave this sustenance
the hunt
the wildness
the adventure
How deep
is the shadow of my soul?
How deep
is birth?
