A Day In Planet

Morning breaks quiet
serpent man unwraps
bug stirs in the mire

Song bird morphs from dinosaur
runs the 15 mile dash
in its beak prize rat
size of hippopotamus

Before the pines of Georgia erupted,
before the granite hardened
before the clay turned red,
everything fumed and stank

And then, me from earth was formed
And you? Hear now, I name you,
"womb man!"
