a momentary holding together
of bodies. a resting upon wet
surfaces. fingertips budding
with moisture. dank bush
floors, foliage, fermented
foods. membranes expanding,
seeds germinating as they hit
the air. excessive gardens,
fish eggs laid in oceans. droplets
hanging suspended. the
incipient vitality all around.
