i became i
spit out of chaos
i became i
out of the pits
of hell, so dark
so deep as to make
black holes seem
freckles on the universe
spit out of chaos-
unplanned, unwanted
i became i
a rush of light,
of impudent beauty,
stunning even the gods.

About elrondsilvermaul
I never know what to say about myself. I let what I write try to speak as to who I am. I can only add, here, that I am 72, live in a nursing home, am twenty years a cancer survivor, and identify as a gay male. I intend to use this blog as storage for poems? written over the long years (and still being written). This does not preclude other uses.
Stark but with great imagery.

Yes, I’d agree with Penny. I like the imagery of the “black holes seem freckles on the universe” – that’s really great!
