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;
