To the Fairest

Scattered across the universe from a time beyond memory,
splatters of condensation;
Life, bloomin' endlessly.

To matter
is just another phase of matter.
A just smatter,
crystallizin' out of titanic stress fractures and shattered
remnants of elder stars,
seeded on their detritus
cells reflective, self-destructive Dust Midas;
tortured and scarred, mistaken for gods                                
taken for monsters, then feathered and tarred;

bowed down, prostrate, upon forearms and former paws
Paris, ensnared, gnaws at the Apple of Discord.
To err is human -
To Eris, Godd-ess of Disorder!
To the fairest.
