ANACHRONISTIC COSMOLOGY

 

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
