Germination

How do we take the measure of a seed

Nestled in the earth

Can a wooden school ruler describe

The space inside

With flower already envisioned

How big is that

And what about the cavity that holds the heart

How large is the space that contains the pain

How do we measure the pulsating border

Soft and shadowed

Where one stops and one starts
