Under ice under snow
and under the cold
frozen leaf mold
below frost's
unknown
zone

a moonflower seed sleeps
at winter solstice
it waits alone
under earth.
It knows.
Seed.

DNA's secret code
winding inside it
life's mystery
underneath
ice and
snow.

Night blooming moonflower
asleep in the seed.
Roots, stems, leaves, blooms,
all within
living
seed.

In the deep reach of space
spins a dark twin seed.
above below
winter snow
both seeds
wait.
