over which
chamber
will claim
the current

wounded Adonis
abandons harbour
a small seaside village
offers home and hearth
love and acceptance
but no vainglory

one must live up
to his potential
or die trying
alone

self-inflicted
stigmata
never heals
over

from rowing
too hard
against
tide

selective vitriol
blinds the navigator

determined to defeat
the machinations
misinformation tattoo'd
by the pulse of life
on the right rib

rusted hulls
sanguine sails
vessels set sail
against amore

wars with
the shadow self
reflected in the ripples

There's no simple explanation
For anything important any of us do
And yeah, the human tragedy
Consists of the necessity
Of livin' with the consequences
Under pressure, under pressure

Lyrics Gordon Downie

You may have to console yourself with the understanding that an uncomfortable truth MUST be told but few are likely to thank you for it.

42

The bacteria is whole
But can only reproduce itself
There is no new creation, only multiplication

The bacteria splits
Into two unlike but dependent parts
The male and the female are conceived
Lonely, in search of the other
Upon reunification there is the birth of the third
Creation is assured

Embrace your loneliness
Here you are closest to embodying the Tao
Trust in timely reunification

At the root of each of us
Lies the one
