Sciences of Silence
Peggy Miller
From the book:
Heredity
I count in the cells
of my finger
the teeming mitochondria
that trace by sequence
all the mothers of time.
Breakfast
Tuesday morning I pour milk
in my tea,
watch the pattern of milk fat
roll out geologic events:
curve of new rivers,
push of clouds across a thin
horizon,
scrape of glaciers crumbling
mountains;
It goes on-
continent crashes against
continent,
suns spark, rogue planets
spin,
and galaxies collide-
until I sip it all away in
a warm uniting of sustenance
and body.
