When the Beginning Was Become
Void
But
Before: Creation:
One: And light for
day against night
Two: And a firmament against the waters
And
the waters twist into a ball and against this a spin to make land
dry land
Three:
And grass and seed and trees: fruit trees against themselves but within themselves
Four: And
lights against the sky a wide eye sky never closing only turning
And
a quiet eye always sometimes open sometimes not
And
stars those too against the hem of heaven
Five: And
birds And fish And whales
in these and against the
wind and water they multiply
Six: And
the cattle creep in and against the dust
And
all the beasts creep in and against
the trees
And
the seeds inside the seeds inside the seeds inside the secrecy within/
And
least of these me between beasts
and trees
on
my knees bending knees
sweeping
clean the earth
for
my Sweet Pea my son
And
we creep we eat weeds we sweep the sky with our baleen mane, our breached jaw
&
Then
After: New
Creation:
Six: And we creep in the filth and screech like wingless bats against alleys and moonlight
Five: tight
light under the roof of night against all day gone day gone forever day
Four: gone
out day forever out like the stars too and no way to know our way
Three: to
the gate, after all the sod is pulled away, after all the mud and clay are laid
square
after
he’s laid prostrate and I fling my fist-ball of earth in
reverse
reverse to the sun
Two: only
to rub my face raw with His now curse of it that me firmament against me water
One: that
night again again without light
