on this slide of a petri dish
sits a speck containing the DNA
for the birth of the cosmos
it drops predetermined as as fall leaves fall
egg cracks
yolk spills out
gooey, opaque suspended around a glowing yellow SUN,
a billion suns,
a disk of ever-flattening, expanding life
It stretches. It yawns.
It cries for its mother.
---------------------------------------------------------
Out of it teems throngs of the tiniest colonies
whose kingdoms rise, rage, and fall
the sun burns out.
It takes an infinite eon for the dying stars to reach us and then what?
Planets freeze over, gravitational collapse ensues
we are suctioned silently into a black vacuum
All that's left, the smallest seed buried in a dark grave
waiting to bloom.
Death to Life.
A Resurrection.
