What strange creature lies before me ?
without a name to know you
so i could accuse you
of leaving my belly so cold.
Some say god sent you.
Darwin mentions evolution
but you seem so other worldly.
Staring at me with history,
looking like peace.
There’s knowledge in the weight of you.
I heard philosophical men once speak
of karma
Did I do wrong ?
Together we will grow old
as empires do.
But for now you are a
flower, with pollen
to barter with.
For me they’ll build a pyre
and I’ll set sail
while the flames dance, snap and crack.
