red, wrinkled

by Charlie Morgan



red, wrinkled

when she met the bone-dry, cold world:
she's warm and shiney-wet,
too she's red, wrinkled; scared and crying.

looking a hundred feet long,
her skin-folds were latticework,
painted with evolution by God's hand.

child of the Universe,
some say. i say:
my child, my Universe.

Oh, beautiful. And I'm with Dave on the second stanza; it's exquisite.
