And now, here again is one of my all-time favourite poems:

“Evolution Prayer”
by Ger Killeen

Dark night of my heart, raked
in the blizzard of my ten thousand lives,
I am again briefly
the Moloch of blind fish, sing again
briefly the pterodactyl’s jubilas
to the sun, am sacrificed
again briefly for the dog’s kingdom…
Dark night of my heart, I scream
in recollection of comfortless origins,
suffer for the arrogance
of my entropy. God protect me
from sins of stasis, keep me
in the movement that fixes me.
