I'll Raise a Glass

I’LL RAISE A GLASS

I’ll raise a glass to your wriggly tail,
your tadpole head,
your blind insistence to survive;
immersed in quickened blood,
one goal
one singled cell
to blossom into life.

Without your sure direction
I would not be here,
another hand would write these lines,
their fate not mine.

Extraordinary point of view - and admirable economy. Thanks

To the reproduction of single cells.

Thank you PM - just a little whimsical one I scribbled down this morning to contrast my previous poem 'Background Noise' which many have read but none have commented on (for good or bad).

Thank you
