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.
