Does soul ‘become’
When sperm splits egg?
Is that when ‘Life’ begins?

I don’t think so,
I think trimesters
Meter growth.

First, the cracked egg
Must be formed
Into its future packaging.

Second, form sends up
A signal that says
“I am ready!”

Third, egg and form meld
Accepted soul into
‘It’s’ final goal,

To be
A living human being,
If at all.
