in my plant
cell soul I hold
memory of this
planet. I came
early and lived with
the first giants, trees
and reptiles. I saw
flowering plants arrive
with their angels, the
flying pollinators. when
humans came, I lined
their mountain temples.
their sages knew what
I carried. I heal thoughts,
give energy, restore
memory, and have
immunity. I survived
nuclear fire. I am alive
near ground zero
hiroshima. I will be here
to the end keeping
your memory,
air breathers
