Metamorphosis

Metamorphosis
#1 transmogrifications in the stuff of life
#2 God, or some  such artist as resourceful
#3 Having made a  pattern in heaven
#4 And now bring  quick life
#5 Prometheus gathered  that fiery dust
#6 The Age of Silver
#7 Last comes the Age of Iron
#8 Meanwhile the ground,  formerly free to all
#9 but not even heaven  was safe
#10 The Lycaon,  in themselves
#11 altars attended  only by spiders
#12 he dipped his anger  in the thought of water
#13 the nereids roam astounded
#14 "Birds grow tired  of the air"
#15 Now flood heaps  over flood
#16 The globe and its  brightness combined  like a tear
