as though, on waking, you found this:
not the way back,
but the possibility of finding a way, any way,
back to the seed and root and branch;
when the chance had been lost before memory,
and before memory, only loss
as a child feels it, without understanding
where it pervades, and what the poison kills.

Really beautiful imagery here especially in the last line “where it pervades, and what the poison kills.” Leaves you contemplating ~
