Interconnectivity... Poem by RIC BASTASA

there must be a link between
a caterpillar
and the nail

on your theory of inter-connectivity
though we
most of the time burn bridges
break ships
and live on islands
there must be a trace between our
ashes

either those scars
or those new skins

words are growing wings
to fly to you
you have designed cages
however
to keep them
dying

my fingers want to touch your lips
your teeth grit
there is no truth to your bibles
where termites
build their empires...
