Zygote Dreams

I.

My father is wholeness
and my mother is love
and all the damage
in the world can only kill me
it cannot unmake me.

II.

I sleep to repair
and remember who I am –
where I was conceived –
and to even out the tremors
of variety and experience
that for a brief instant
allowed me to construct
a story only as permanent
as weather.

III.

I awaken over and over
into the spirit of conception –
now, eternally –
that returns us
to comfort.
