Mitosis

Cellular biology: cytology, from the Greek kytos,
contain, is the study of cell properties, functions, life, death,
and division. Plankton to piranha and hookworms to
humans. Among organelles, mitochondria make
power, while lysomes break down. Nuclei
show us the way. Membranes bound and protect.
Mitosis: division in phases
whereby a mother births two like
daughters. Tension builds until
it tears in two, jagged
or cleaved, callous or
just. This is not
our way. Opposite
when two are one in that
light and, sometimes designed
and sometimes not, force out a one to wander
forth. The spark burns fonder
dims or darkens while you find your way
by touch
lighting on the traps and trips that exist. The tension
resolved, the product persists
or dissolves.

I see that pain,
all that I contain grows
straight, flows faint
from the brain to the fire
unlove
undone desire
one.
