Life Is Electricity

Who knows anything about life?
The human body is merely

Life is electricity, running
vital substance in these bodies.

Bed Of Freedom

It was the first decision she had made
to determine the course
of her life.
Here and now, on a quiet
bed of freedom
she felt so free, so happy.
This is up to me.

She looked wilder
out in the water and sky.
She was unexpectedly happy at that
particular moment.
She could not describe it.
How perfect
is the earth.
