Born again

In a dying body can we truly be born again?

I am told that each cell in my body is replaced Through a cosmic cycle every seven years

So, I can say I was reborn seven times already

-

I was also told that each sun rise Brings new beginnings and possibilities

So, under this rotating Earth ship

I am a newborn colony of cells every morning

-

If there was any hope of rebirth that I could master

I would call for new beginnings where I get to remember

Again the sweetness of my Mother first wild embrace

Again the return of friends long departed with the curiosity of this new light

-

The colonies of virus and bacteria that keep me alive

Spinning in much faster cycles, are here to help me see

The passing of time through the lenses of decaying and smell

Informing my elusive and humble attempt to understand life

-

If I were born again, I would summon again the Nagual and mythical beast

That carries the memories I need to live and attempt to remember
