The Hamlet Project

Besides heaven
Besides earth
Besides love
Besides wondering and wonderment
Besides looking up and looking down
Besides the eyes evolving to lead us
Besides the heart evolving from frog
Besides the body leaning into what it likes and recoiling from what it does not
Besides words
Besides music
Besides dancing
Besides singing
Besides pretending to be other than you are
Besides standing in a group feeling it shift
Besides the breeze blowing through a window,
waving the curtain and lifting your hair
Besides food
Besides trees shooting towards the sky
Besides lavender fields
Besides clockwork turning into itself
Besides bodies falling into each other and opening into surprise.
