Matter Matters

by Alicia Vann

Each fleck and yarn
Translucent
Liquid
The most solid
Earth
Drains it with every
Step
Its cracks
A treacherous
Terrain
Too much of it
Left behind
To recognize
Itself

In space
It would be
A sphere
Protected
By tension
Here
Too easily
Washed away
Too Human
Invisible
Wasted
Resources
Of forgotten
Bounty

Metamorphosis
Urgently
Required
Connection
Combination
Attachment
To another
Element
To Another
anything
Nothing
Is meant
To connect
Alone
