A Baby Born
(short version)
Science wants to father
—what nature mothers best
(long version)
Atoms in the void,
voices in the wind
Long to be connected,
where do we begin
Science wants to father,
what nature mothers best
A baby born beyond their reach
—the Muse to then contest
(St. David’s Pennsylvania: January, 2020)
