Sub Ek -- Poetry Inspired by John Donne

Sub Ek

----

Sub Ek, something you should know,

it composites and constructs the all.

As my eyes though twins see but one

and ears though too apart do not bisect,

so are we to the angels we can not see.

But also for them we are weak particles 

but wearing armor and dying alone

so in our fear we return to joy, 

a full circle of mouth to tail

of dust to dust and ash for flame.

And then there's God one level up,

the angels swing like mobile chimes

but anchored to that third eye.

And see it is how a grain of beach

is built of more than all you see

And man, of more than bones and blood

and angels more than songs and silence

And in each morning is many days,

time too holds the respect of this sub ek.

So as you think yet still breathe 

and as you pray but insist to kill

Know that I and he and she and they 

and those and God are all the we

bound tight by truth and pushed on by time.
