Evolution

Another poem penned for one of the 12 poems in 12 months challenges at Deadlines for Writers.com . The prompt for this one was “rudimentary”. Evolution Amoeba-like in amnion. Life-defining. Protozoan cells divide, multiplying.   Burrow into tissue softness. Fix location. Fluid flowing in, around.
