this planet
really is alive
 and it's very hungry
Gaia
no longer just a hypothesis

does the day lily bulb love
each of its mayfly children
the mayfly does
she fights for every second
her epic poetry
is like haiku
her haiku, an antenna dip
Gaia's long love song to her progeny
ends with a red giant's kiss

This world never saw life
realized when we touched down
that life could be

on the third day
we found native bacteria
in warm pools
