BIRTH

In the cradle of time

titans once trapped

beneath a patina of

stagnant verdigris

make salient moves

to break the chains

of confinement.

Whispers of their birth

become mighty roars

as the planet's crust

erupts in fiery fury

and spits out these

small moons through

its bleeding portals

to circle for eternity

an inhospitable

lifeless globe

somewhere

in space
