Fecund May
What a seething season of epiphanies and ecstasies this is,
To be alive, breathing, thriving, growing, surviving
Or to be born, hatched, budding, flowering, fructifying.
It's all such a mysterious, mystical miracle,
This progression of procreation, propagation, perpetuation,
The very idea of nativity, renascence, renewal, regeneration,
Precious physical presence engendering from spiritual essence —
Whatever is required to bring nonexistent matter
Into the cellular immediacy of a palpable, visceral here and now
Conceived, from seeds, in lush, heated, wet uteruses, eggs, soil
Whose primal, elemental, seminal, fundamental purpose
Is to recreate Creation, from beginning to beginning,
Until each spring's fecundations, gestations, incubations, efflorescences
Lead, again and again, to endless again-and-agains,
Each new life a universe giving life to newer universes.
