By Eva Kroes (Netherlands)

Solidify Before You Fly

Seriously,

Unraveling this mystery of me
Is a truthful undertaking
Rising to my root
To travel the core beyond my creation

Nothing to lose but the way that I was
Lying dead on the road ahead

Symbolically—ironically
I seem a renegade rafter
In a time long last and before

Cutting between
The self sovereign
And the self less necessity

Tasting my tongue still to touch on the tissues of matter
Solidify before I fly

Rooting to rise
To ripen before
I fall

Becoming the seed of life sustaining it all
