Cosmogony

Heaven,
heaven’s bodies
whirl around me,
make me wonder…

And they say: back then, our universe
was an empty sea, until a silver fox
and her cunning mate began to sing
a song that became the world we know…

Heaven […]

And they say: back then, our universe
was a coal-black egg –until the god inside
burst out, and from its shattered shell
he made what became the world we know.

Heaven […]

And they say: back then, our universe
was an endless land -until our ancestors
woke up and before they went back to sleep
they carved it up into the world we know…

Heaven […]

And they say: back then, our universe
wasn’t even there –until a sudden bang,
and then there was light, was sound, was matter,
and it all became the world we know.

Heaven,
heaven’s bodies
whirl around me,
dance eternal.
