Personal Cosmology
I was there
brother
when the rocks melted
and sand was not yet sand
I wanted to take another flow of lava
in my palms
and dream of Pompeii
on the ides of a forgotten month
I was there
sister
when hydrogen
discovered oxygen
and chose a white wedding
While helium dreamt of
floating free
as in
bloated balloons
It was when I noticed
a tiny worshipping trilobite
staring at me
with the awe of future generations of sentience
