I Am That Seed
by Steve Higgins

Time sleeps in the distant desert,
and sitting softly under the yellow sun,
dried and dehydrated,
there is a seed that waits for the rains.
– I am that seed.
I wait for the rains with open hands
And when they wash over me time wakes refreshed
And I’ll drink all I need
-I am that seed.
The seed that longs to know
The secrets of this distant desert
And when my bones lie here
And mingle with the sand
The secrets of the desert -and my own- will be one
-I am that seed
that aches for knowledge
and hungers with desire.
Listen now and understand
And know me now for who I really am
-I am that seed

The bright sparks in my family
by Louisa Adjoa Parker

They’ve been wired together
wrongly, fuses blow too quickly
circuits short themselves
and their systems overload;
like robots of the future
made by robots
made by robots
in a factory where instructions
left by people
on how to make a robot’s mind
have long been lost
to time and buried
under fine metallic dust.
