Erupting with weeds, the seeds scattered helplessly

I heard Time whisper

As it began to fade

From up-above

As it balanced intently

Above an oak tree and

Through the melancholy lens

Of my childlike eyes

I watched the trigger

Sparking a chain reaction

As it walked tightrope on

A crooked branch

High and forgotten

And preparing to dive

As it tripped on the bark

Scabbed with a hiccup

Before nosediving to Earth

With flaked ash in follow

And eyes-closed it plundered

Into the mouth

Split wide and hungry

As evolution swallowed

The splash we created
