Daniel Abdal-Hayy Moore

The tiny spider on a leaf

knows you as he finds relief

from patient hunger winding spry

spider-silk around a fly.

The whale in all his deepsea booms

knows you as he moves through rooms

of sparkling coral lost in song

to a mile wide radius whale throng.

Worms in soil among the rocks

know you in their slimy clocks

of special worm metabolism

in cold earth's wintry hypnotism.
