Incubation
CYCLE II: WATER
As slowly cooling suns’ refracted light,
Above the steaming haze of primal ice,
Did flavor gas with particles incite
To arcing lines’ electrical entice.
In torrents flew for eons without stop,
To burning rock that split the wet in two.
That other gas would come from shattered drop.
In age on age, the vapors’ congress grew.
On seas beget in rage beneath the storm,
That scored and mixed the elemental dust,
In warming stew and cooling air took form,
A single cell of proteins’ iron rust.
From simple life did all life come of age,
Were amniotic oceans’ first engage.
