__________by Njeri Faith

In the 'embryatic' state,
one must breathe water
to survive,
yet this breathing of water
does not cause one to
"Drown Deep"--stay afloat
in this notion.

A myth becomes
reality as souls
take flight. In us,
we hula, as you come
to know me and I, you.

Maxwell's notion
has taken us to
a state of deep
"Plateau"...in us,
we drown deep.
