Gamete Poem<\/b><\/p>\n
The dance of one and many, begins so long ago<\/p>\n
Nestled and warm,<\/p>\n
We alone sojourn out<\/p>\n
dominant ovum pulsing from ovarian chamber<\/p>\n
vigorous tadpole chosen from seminal pack<\/p>\n
Then,<\/p>\n
Singular cells glimpse one another<\/p>\n
Like Bath-Sheba on the rooftop<\/p>\n
Attraction pulling them together, come what may<\/p>\n
Pressing unto each other, push and heave<\/p>\n
Joining, separating, then joining again<\/p>\n
Parts of the parts separate, mix, then separate again<\/p>\n
meiosis stretches<\/p>\n
mitosis cleaves<\/p>\n
And the two shall become one<\/i>,<\/p>\n
A singular universe<\/p>\n
Deep stillness<\/p>\n
The fertility dance of self:<\/p>\n
We dance alone<\/p>\n
Together<\/p>\n
Alone<\/p>\n
Together<\/p>\n
Again<\/p>\n
