Premateria (A Fire Birth)

eye ex nihilo

out of the alpha swirling nuclear density

expanding, contracting, interpenetrating

cell walls touch, but I need an opening

thine infallible tessellation made flesh

reaching out of the orange dawn

fingertips beholden to a remote microbial sphere

26 orbs spiraling

snaking around her wooly legs

a wind blew, shaking the web

and knocked a globe off course

gyrated and submerged into amniotic oceans

encircling her fertile core

igneous ascends like an offspring prosimian wail

igneous ascends like fire from the sky

His good earth is born like venus crucified

forged in his shape

hands embracing flame

diminutive puppet thumb reaches around a rib bone

a slave of his own

given the choice of subservience or destitution

you cannot be me

there was one and now there's three

eclipsing the sky with a babbelling menagerie

feeble hands reaching at immortality

but the serpent-stung wrists bleed

draining the venom for eternity

you're my mistake and you'll always be

beneath my divine grace
