scientific evidence of an afterlife

A white room. A light. The voice of a god,

yes, but what about blood thick in the heart,

oxygen, orgasms, salt, a hot shower,

your mother and you in a rocking chair,

virgin fossils, babies that your belly fed,

what about an image of a white horse

and a deep pilgrimage, a gut feeling,

some relic in a jar, fingers crossed, wet

words hot in the mouth, slices of meat,

a left hand, in it a cave, a goddess of mercy,

the moon, two people, a love story,

with a dress, the smell of spring,

the lace of a mouth, an island,

a face in the bathroom mirror,

little boats, the wind knocks,

your whole body, on the porch,

carrying the sediment of evening,

then the sound of a tree, wings, hair,

lights for miles.
