From a Gape Arose, a Rose Divine

From a gape arose, a rose divine
The waves whipped the beach sands bare 
Bones bleached and unhinged 		
Combine-
The flesh and shell, the fish and spine
Electrons changing orbitals
four tons absorbed
specters educe an infinite line 
A gape arose, a rose divine
And with one ray of light did grow 
A quantum with each fraction of time
From a gape arose, a rose divine
