For Jake

Muther
Myth
Early utter entrances
Looking for the homeland of language
Language on loan
Entrusted to the sporogenesis of the species
And the sounds press into the mud
and stones bear the marks of one age forwarded to another
The shell no longer holds and begins to crack
Worlds scream
neck deep in agony birth
Language presses into the moist formations of life.
I speak.
We speak.
The dolphins speak.
And codes crawl in the skin until all has been written down
And then the end of writing
still
