Let Yourself Be Free

Evolution from the Fish

This grandson of fishes holds inside himA hundred thousand small black stones.This nephew of snails, six feet long, lies naked on a bedWith a smiling woman, his head throws off lightUnder marble, he is moving toward his own lifeLike fur, walking. And when the frost comes, he isFur, mammoth fur, growing longerAnd silkier, passing the woman's dormitory,Kissing a stomach, leaning against a pillar,he moves toward the animal, the animal with furry head!

What a joy to smell the flesh of a new child!Like new grass! And this long man with the student girl,Coffee cups, her pale waist, the spirit moving around them,Moves, dragging a great tail into the darkness.In the dark we blaze up, drawing picturesOf spiny fish, we throw off the white stones!Serpents rise from the ocean floor with spiral motions,A man goes inside a jewel, and sleeps. DoNot hold my hands down! Let me raise them!A fire is passing up through the soles of my feet!— Robert Bly
