Great-Grandfathers, blessed by great-grandmothers,
Shaped recently cooled buried stars, downed moons.
Creating hawk-beaked hatchets, phallic pikes, fire,
To tear out stubborn determined cells, clinging to
Other great-grandfathers, other great-grandmothers.
Proudly survived fathers, goaded by proud mothers,
Rolled lead drippings into skull piercing eternities.
Sent to stamp death on final presences, life forms,
Of other survived fathers, other proud mothers.
Sons, grandsons, daughters, granddaughters, bastards
Rolling the atmosphere into sinister nuclear spheres.
Insane combustions, to melt the bones, ivory teeth,
Of other sons, grandsons, daughters, granddaughters, Bastards.
Here, Adam, take back your God damn rib.
