A Prompted Poem as a Riddle

there’s no power here in this tiny envelope no houses either

changing from one thing to one slightly different in those tiny breaths

a respiration they call it that, anyway is it really, though?

rather cyclical facilitating transfers moving electrons

converted fuel for the bigger of the two food that it can use

a symbiosis life within another life its own DNA

but part of a whole inseparable, as one always together
