Cat returned to her burrow
Sniffing the air as she went
The warmth that she felt
Coming from the volcanic vent

Her eggs would hatch soon
She thought as she curled
Around them protecting them
Bringing a new evolving species
To this once unknown broken world

The fox fire spider spun her web
Aeons had passed as in a blur
Close to where the space ship
Which had remained dormant
Woke wondering how many years
Had passed since she had slept
