RIC S. BASTASA

if you wish
let there be a big
bang of
this universe
again

do you hate the
war that it
has given at itself?

do you also lose
patience over the
dormancy for
a hundred million
years?

forest to forest
nonspeaking
of its wanton
wilderness?

a spread of the
dry desert for
another billion years?

layers and layers
of forgotten
existence?

sometimes a seed
grows
and creates another
world?

an egg gets hatched
to begin life
again

have you figured out
for now
the DNA of
this universe?
