swan song for a sabertooth

.
Who among us can recall
with any level of clarity what it was to be
unformed energy prior to coalescing sentience?
A thermodynamic accident -
We are but borrowed energy, borrowed time
settled into such a fragile form. Spiraling
around each other in
Inestimable and infinite orbits -
What an abundance of gratitude within -
to be such a present, meager whisper
barely able to perceive the self-same cosmos in secret wavelengths.
Even so,
before I return in silence to the churning
chaos of ever-clashing and ever-calling energies -
I will gather your teeth and keep them
in the place I hold for you eternally.
