By Morning Ash


with a crack! and snap !
    they launch into flight.
“fire sperm of sort”… roy says
    “with tail in trail.”
carried towards constellation…
   lifted in moonlight.
and there  is significance here
   yet
something far too simple
    for my complex ideas
         to wrap around.
suddenly  it emerges…
 it is life.
 yes,  there is vitality.
it started small…
   and grew…
   it began to propagate…
     attempt reproduction.
     it aged…
        became a steadier warmth
           an experienced glow.
then
     by morning...
           ash
