EVERY BIRTH

   

every birth is a rebirth
every garden an eden
each person is old earth
every death is a freedom

deceased meat and vegetable matter
help us get a little fatter
blood placenta, piles of dung
the sullied beds from where we sprung

a chicken’s breast is so delicious
the slaughterhouse is where it's sliced
a quiet flower is so precious
your fertile shit is where it's lifed

trying to be a good daoist and recognise paradoxes in my mind.
