world history

the void erupts like a sac
of amniotic fluid and
nothing comes into being.

no terrestrial war can match
the violence meteorites
inflict as they crash into newborn
stone. to the left, to the right:
collisions shape the mother
sphere whose face leaks molten rock.

this is not geology.

in your amniotic chamber, you wrestle
with visions of formation. does time
pass if nobody is around to take note?
the magma dries, the crust forms:
you swear to never forget.

the world maker pulls infinite threads
inside his shoebox diorama: four billion
for the earth and one for you.
