Craig Steiger - Navel

The little knot we carry
On our softskinned bellies
Symbolises our warm blood
Is inherited,
Remnant of that glistening umbilicus
That links us to wind grass & stars,
Mother Gaia.
It is the achilles dimple in our theory
That we are self-wrought, autonomous,
All neural pathways lead back to this ancient home,
This universal hieroglyph that spells
CONNEXION
