As part of my desire to tumble one line into the next poem. To see from whence the first line of this poem came, and from whence that line came, and so on. Click on the Poetry Tumble tab at the top of the page.
The Offspring
one and one are three
when one and one become one
and bring into the world another
one, and so,
three become one
family
will they blossom into more
than the sum of their total,
whether looked upon as one
or three?
or become weighed down
by inner thoughts,
by words spouted
that become
weeds sprouted
that become
entangled to choke
the upward growth
and pull the weakened branches
down, until they
split?
And are further seeds sown
close to home,
close to their roots
or
scattered
across barren lands?
And, if the latter,
will those seeds become the strong
that only survive?
Or the weak that flounder and
wilt in the face of its environment?
