by Iris Reeves

the victorious breath of a single cell:

the rocks told them, supposedly,

that the earth created a single being

who unwove herself in the water: two,

then four, the eight,

for the first thing she wanted

when gifted the entire world to herself

was a sister, and

thereby set into motion

a mosaic of digestion

and love. that is all.
