Slowly I close my eyes

Swallow my spit, spitt, spirit

Lips, and tongue. Tongue the

Words of the world, the physics of

Phenomenon, keep it on the tip of

My ghastly ghostly tongue. For on

My tongue I print my mind, my

Feeble, ugly mind. Heartbeat.

You can feel it in my chest, my heart

To yours. It is yours. Slowly it grows in

Unanatomical size. Swell, inflame, inflame.

Grow in size my tongue my mind my spirit

My body and the

Truth

Comes up on me impressing its

Almighty hand on my soul like a

Smouldering fire and the

Ardent caress of the truth creeps up

On every crevice of my trembling

Soul like fire and everything’s

On fire because the data

Is not adding up, and she

Keeps telling me no, no, never,

Not good enough, you can’t find me,

You really can never find me, no

And she taunts, her pristine, undying beauty

Branded in the white sclera of

My tired eyes, my tired tired eyes,

Come closer, she says,

And I come to her,

And I come closer and closer to her,

Shows me a little bit, and a little bit more,

A little more until I can’t take it anymore,

And then I reach out, my quick, heavy arms

Frantically, hopelessly grasping

For her to only

At the end of the day

Have been a mirage.

Many moments before. Flashes of light illuminate the darkened sky as light fills the once dark void and the source of all flickers the mighty hand.

Many moments after. The dark.

Eons after the many moments before but before the many moments after: let there be the wind and the sound of birds and trees and the rustling of the feathers of dew and grass. Let this all come to pass.

Moments after the happenstance but before the many moments after: and then they were banished to the depths of the earth down in the mantle and the outer core. The fire and brimstone brimmed the fiery brimstone’s fire. And the dust and the smoke became the man’s food. Woman.

Moments before happenstance: snake appear. Eat fruit. Eat it.

Fractions of seconds after happenstance: crumbs of vile flesh ooze out the sins of all humanity in the succulent juices of the distasteful, delicious fruit. Abominelicious.

Fractions of fractions of seconds before happenstance: He knew this would happen. It was engineered from the start. Give humanity free will and see how they twist it against you. They will forever love you and fear you, but will they ever truly know you?

And back and back before the many moments before. No, even further before that. Go further back please. Silence, all. I said silence. No? No silence? None of the precious delicious silence that once permeated the entirety of the unimaginable void of space and time? You’re telling me there was something that existed before all of this, all these masses and planets that coincidentally led to the creation of such a particular set of molecules and physical interactions set in such a way that consciousness emerged and men and women sprang forth from the dust of the ground?

Alleluia.
