Evergrown
Spinal frond
visibly unfolding
as an indispensable
essence of Being
Its pelvic basin
of blood and bone
Holy os sacrum—
Soul's
arterial seating
Roots extend
anchoring
to burn
in the earthen
kingdom
below
Imperishable stars
ornately crown
its heavenly
kingdom
above
Our cerebellum
a centered revelation;
an arbor vitae
of white matter
(r)evolving
Thus each moment
we are becoming
neither light nor dark
befalling
But as the tree—
ever-growing

Great use of rhyme from beginning to end with a delightful contrast in between to switch up the rhythm. Other than that, I think I'll just sit back on a park bench and enjoy the masterpiece you've painted.

Raises such fascinating related questions about consciousness, brain versus mind, mind-body problem, local versus non-local, souls, etc. Great.

The use of language here is mesmeric. You create such a potent atmosphere of mysticism and the esoteric yet human.
