Family Tree

Omphaloskepsis

By Gerard DiLeoPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
Umbilical Chords

Family tree:

The umbilical chord as symphony

Of all the chords that came before

Euphonic, dyscordic, melodic, or atonal

Arboreal tributaries upward

Branching and ferning coalescing

Along ancestral umbilica

Cords combining, chords refining

Family tree

surreal poetry
