“When the Lord established the heavens I was there ...”
(First Reading)
Let There Be
|
|
That squawk
in the pheasant’s
throat
was
aeons ago
when He thought matter
in space
(space
in matter
which?)
and whispered
to each atom His plan
a request
to join in dance
alone—together
with multitudes—apart
and part
forming
singular configurations—
a snowflake
repetition
without repetition
never to
be repeated
yet repeated—
kaleidoscopes
crowning
choruses with
consciousness
in that second—
eternity
