Interconnection Poem by RIC BASTASA

find for yourself how things and creatures really interconnect
find how the distant sun
has given life
to the blind fish
in the deepest sea

how the eel finally meets
the laddle

how the foot of the man found its way to the moon
and how we change our definition of the world

and ourselves
new names, new outlooks

opening the window
waking up and just letting the light from the shutters spread
seemingly endlessly stabbing the dark

finding that life is so beautiful and knowing that in a minute
you shall die

yes, i received his email which says that indeed he is dying
believe him
it does not matter to you anymore.
