There is a small eternity 'Twixt my coming and my going. Though it be filled with riddles And words crawling in the mud, Time is no interloper, and I freeze. Up from the shale and storm, Up from the majesty crawling forth to mate, Life shouts like a thunder shock. The earth retches, And a form arises from the thin mud, amphibian as a cross. Part fish, Part rat, It is inscribed on the genes, And I read it like a nettled book. I read the record of the dead And wonder, could this be us? Or from a passing comet do we hail?
