Is There Love in Biology?
A leaf is like
a multi-storied building
with different officials
on each floor.
You can press your eye
through the transparent flesh
of a leaf to visit the busy
departments of the offices of life.
A tower
whose cellar is
the world we share,
rises high into states of mystery.
You can press your eye through
the layers of the unknowable
where the hard theories
begin to break
and come to love
that science fears.
