Trying to Find an Amoeba in an Expanse of Filtered Sea


Angling for reason
         netting nothing but decay
casting for meaning
         reeling nothing back but lines and hooks
and that’s just half the times I set to look
motile yet stasis sits
         upon a thriving throne
where inability’s widely known

Stagnation’s strong
         in this single cell
eyes can’t see
         and minds can’t meld
hands can’t feel
         and hearts can’t heal

I’m longing for the day to come
         when I’ll be seen
for all I would have done
         if you only let me free
 or chose to join me
         encaged but not alone; imprisoned but not afraid
together,
         redefining what makes a home
