the skin of an ancient reptile – v2


the skin of an ancient reptile
conjured from a DNA sample
a city-scape of the arteries and capillaries
seen in close-up, under the microscope,
far from its razor-sharp teeth

alive in the image, this moment
captured before it withered
separated from the vine, the life-force
knitting it within time, in space,
in the blessings of this place
