We walk along the beach
Hand in hand
Her small hand fitting mine
so perfectly
Warm and alive
Her blue eyes
so intelligent
so full of life

We stop for a moment
looking down upon an upturned
horseshoe crab,
it's lifeless eyes
staring into our own

She has that sad look
so sincere
as if every single hurt
in all of the world
registers somewhere
in her heart

I see a pair of eyes
older than our species
older than almost
any living species
I see a life looking
into a life

I see a world of DNA
evolving into Her
