Probing with a surgeon's care and rigour, break and crack, burst and rip
spreading away in cutting-juice emission, the ooze in imperceptible meandering
across the base in rejection of a spherical rank, grasping a half-tight quasi-grip
mushrooming like the aftermath of an atom bomb discharge, abandoning
here, where the surface bubbles on, roasting the hot, rock-hard crust
the mixing of the colours, watching the rising puree of radiating heat
a whirlpool purée of yellow texture, amalgamate with a crimson rust
the consequential Pre-Cambrian mayhem in a break-time recess rupture beat
Intimation of many a fissure that the pre-life era, a zone of undulating immensity
the unending blast of raw heat through hardening day or coagulating night
the composite elements one might assume bring on a result in catastrophe
a chef’s palette with polychrome passion, bright-hot engaging white
where element and mixture magma-merge in electro-chemistry, to take
one step up the time scale, to let the compounding items bask
watch raw conduction component ex-shopping basket burst and bake
in fulfilment of its rotating intemperate pressure, to close up the task
Browning in less than gentle manner, hardening the unbeaten hero
with a skin of radiation, a new circle of soft centre in labouring Earth
time ticking away, waiting for the right moment to buzz into incorporating zero
take out, with protection and rising humongous hunger, a new pizza in birth
