part 11

will gods hold their shape
or simply metaporphos
-even consciousness, that evolving art-
into the body's changing world
around it?

Older
explorations fell
on other cultures, now
all of humanity culminates
in us
when considered individually.

to float,
at least -the mainstay of any vessel-
bouyant and airtight first,
and with this fundament established,
we can consider direction
and how we might arrive.

Or why
we depart into the unknown,
entrusted with otherís speculation
on what there might be.
Gambling with our own sense of adventure,
and expertise.
