STORY OF AN EYE

by Shaun Lawton



within a stone lies the cut
  blossomed seeds interlacing
 into a filigree of filaments

coalescing just beneath
  the surface of the rippling

 central pool split crosswise
the kernel incubating into
  a young spiral galaxy
 emerging from a vortex

crying light in saline
  globules freed from
 the unpredictable wink

within the seed a compressed
  scene when unfolded blooms
 into all of the trees

our eyes the mirrors
  the forest gazes into
