Animation Found

On a hallow day.
Empty, aching.
Shrill.

A body eruption opened her eye.
Had she merely fumbled this far?
In her skin was born an urgency.

"Bring forth the light!
Illuminate the dripping dark
So grasping hands may be clasped!

So that impulses will leap-

-and land, over synapses (those canyons of uncertainty).
That the organism- receiving oxygen, coursing blood- may ANIMATE. Motivate.
And walk against the earth's rotation."
