Because I was born

[busker]

Because I was born 

Mother, father, gorgonopsid fawn,
ancestors - I love you all.
Because there is nothing afterward, 
before - even so, I was born.
Not crossed out as an improbability
by a bone dry statistician god,
but made to be awed 
by everything: sludge digesters,
Saturn’s rings,
and Shakespeare. 
Then, dissolving
into clay
from which he spawned.

I suppose you post in Misc because you don't want feedback?

No, feedback is welcome

I post in the critical fora when I’m actively looking for feedback, but happy to have it at other times if someone wants to do the hard yards
