Meteor
When you fell to earth
did you bring death or life?
Were we first base or a rock too large to miss?
Dead planets are everywhere.
Fire and ice spin around
a deadly vortex
with nothing mild enough
to be just enough.
Did a dragons eye capture creation
a vision seen at its destruction?
If you killed the lumbering reptilians
who brought them forth?
Was it the fire and Ice?
Some say earth is much older than we think,
some say it is younger,
only a simple unicellular proto-being
of a simple-minded creator knew
but had no eyes to see.
There is no memory,
and if humanity is to be extinguished
by a loose space pebble
there will be no history either.
