Indivisible I divine
in leaf’s veins, lung’s blood,
floodplain and feathered cloud,
where the all ails, avail.
We’ve summoned by reduction
the valenced none, digressed,
through manias of distinction,
out of reverence, are undeceived
and undone. Therefore, repair.
Let mountain and meteorite
accord in scale, write in alleles
aves in human and bacterium alike.
Let us learn to lean again
on the awe-obstinate phrase,
like that poor priest who fused
the disparate trout spots,
cloud colors, into one praise.
