there shall be no more combining
connections will be
tribal not familial
trace elements in the conjoining of others
fertility's absolutist
salute to the lengthening shadows
Da Vinci's children
followed then well-worn cobblestones
that became vine-covered jungle signposts
for Pol Pat's progeny
During the era of royal lineage
and ] inheritances
to join thus was duty
even prayerful
fissile
for the sterile its purpose
benign but carnal
all I and Thou
pleasure in free fall
