The Toynbee Tiles


Having gone full ice
I fell down, melting
in many
droplets, particles

to be reconstituted
years later
on the Planet

Jupiter.  On Earth, 
we were many
alive with 

problems, most
of them imaginary. 

You know how it goes.  One
minute I am the rain and the next
many, many people. 

Humans.  All of us
had trouble with
remembering

what     it was
we came from.  We were
sea-rain, sky-sun

flesh-bodies
and at last

forgetful mountains
of molecules heading
up


to resurrect us.
