        EVOLUTION

 

the fishes breathe today

revealing lungs

hidden in bodies

foreseeing sulfur dioxide

reduction

 

finned crawlers scale

scraped legs to regain

the silence of gill need

 

to await matted wings

of pre-flight

     time of eating

     for the dry season

of flight from mate to mate

so all might fly with no such wait
