Rooster consciousness,
the rooster that sees light in darkness
rooster announces the light while submerged in darkness
from the deepest place as it’s starting to turn
soon we’ll be in light, you can feel it
it teases, it plays in spring dazzle
that exhilaration, that rush forward
to leave everything behind
We have been staring into darkness
We have been shown darkness
Gingerly, carry that darkness
stirring to its strange voice
its story
carry it in your pocket
rub it like a stone
take side glances at its face
all our transformations
in that stony face
looking towards the light
