SINGULARITY by Marie Howe

Do you sometimes want to wake up to the singularity we once were?

so compact nobody needed a bed, or food or money —

nobody hiding in the school bathroom or home alone

pulling open the drawer where the pills are kept.

For every atom belonging to me as good Belongs to you. Remember?

There was no Nature. No them. No tests

to determine if the elephant grieves her calf or if

the coral reef feels pain. Trashed oceans don’t speak English or Farsi or French;

would that we could wake up to what we were — when we were ocean and before that

to when sky was earth, and animal was energy, and rock was liquid and stars were space and space was not

at all — nothing

before we came to believe humans were so important before this awful loneliness.

Can molecules recall it? what once was? before anything happened?

No I, no We, no one. No was No verb no noun only a tiny tiny dot brimming with

is is is is is

All everything home.
