Heavy Elementary School

Forged from cores compressed until
gravity collapses all:
velocity's now everything

then

bursting boldness, utmost light
interpenetrating space:
matter splattered every way

then

attraction's compact with the motes,
an age of orbs absorbing more:
cosmic bodies born to whirl

then

primal worlds and swirling clouds
comets, lightning, signs of life:
welcome to the Cambrian

then

pulverized, regenesis,
ancestral spears to modern tech:
artificial minds emerge

then
