Written Corpus

January 2024
Coded in genetics,
The body archives
A set ancestral score
Movement obeys
The cyclical nature
Of tracing effort
Structured in time,
Ever moving through space,
A never ending pulse
Cursor of the present
Printed on fingers,
A digital stamp
Veins of ink
Well into pools
of knowing and trying
At its core,
A written corpus of
Stirring power.
