Analysis of In Touch with the Past
the minerals in my body
long for those left behind
within this moment of time
I carry these with water
for the sea didn’t leave me
when I let her be
the tears I now cry
witness salty of regrets
eternity of simple life
and death I lost
none of my primitive forms
bacterium worm paramecium
can offer me the space of time
where I will be one
with the present of this past
forever I lost its cast
is this vanishing still
consciously being endorsed
when this superficial me
returns into its former course
