Because I was born

[milo]

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

makes sense.  At some point I moved to only posting in fun for similar reasons I would warrant

well, if I were to just casually give a drive by I would probably say to fix the POV issue, switch dissolving to dissolves and maybe reword some of L3 and 4

It is pretty solid though, I never heard of a gorgonopsid before
