As the embryo lies stagnant amongst laden ruins
and roots become branches of the unknown
darkness fights the light
and twigs fight splintering thorns
we somehow become born
and what does one become
woman
man
child
or maybe decievers
or non believers
does one even remember
the branch they fell from
or which roots sprouted first
amongst mouldering vines
with no sunshine to evoke pleasure
rains pouring in on simmering days
and soaking the figmanted vines
branches reach beyond the unknown
and we the people born amongst mixed roots
become who and what we are moulded
being who and what we become
we become one
born the seeds of the unknown embryo.
