Evolution
- Evolution
I am continually renewed,like evolution.I don't know if I want to stop,or if I can,but I am ashamedat the possibility of gaining from the death of the dead.For I should not appear even fleetinglyglad in my need for renewal.This has been done beforeon nature shows wound in reverse.A wilted plant turns green then back into a seed.Or maybe I am mistaken, and it's justthe opposite.
"Evolution" from My Forces Fire/Esh Kohotai [Hebrew] (2007, Even Hoshen Publishers) [End Page 10]
