Chaos

In doodse stille dalen
Kookt het paarse wolkendek
Vulkanen openen hun bek
En braken geeloranje stralen
Stikstofhitte vult de grotten
O, in de zee zweeft groen doorzichtig
Het levend eiwit rond
Een cel straalt licht en vorm voorzichtig
En aarzelend de eerste mond
Er gloeien gele manen
In een grijsberookte lucht
Het schuwe witte water sist
Grommend nagezeten door de lava
O, en de zee vormt tere stranden
En vonkt van levenslicht
En op de drooggevallen landen
Valt zacht het eerste zonnelicht
En tussen groene wieren
Blijven lauwe plassen staan
Waaruit de eerste leguaan
Komt jagen op de eerste mieren
De eerste spin weeft reuze webben
O, en de zee is teruggedrongen
En kabbelt koel en stil
Maar op het strand spoelt half verwrongen
Iets aan, een plastic zonnebril
