pregnant pause

at the brink of sudden inception,
in breath that’s held in membrane
set to burst,
insemination lays its blueprint bare
in helix hieroglyphs
turning ’round unfathomable pulls
and melds of passion
the flash before reaction
splitting atoms fury forth a heated answer
unto silence, and from silence back,
the contemplating chain
the cosmic cycle,
a cryptic chrysalis,
life and labor:
flight to quietus
