Big Bang
Time accumulates and becomes a bomb

A second is ten thousand years of explosions

A moment is the fuse digging deep into the detonator of forever

The moment a fetus is born crying

They swallow the painful world hanging upside down

An approaching atmosphere breathing out cold heat

and an unseen world and unseen murmuring

To contain in their eye the bright stars

the color of black that represents death

the child cries accumulating rubble over rubble

The beginning is far away

and the world already arrived at

moves upstream and ever upstream

How much further up until darkness is reached

An explosion calm just a moment before

Shakes awake a world in the smallest dot

That world

a child still believing there is a place for them to wander in

swallows on their own and wails

in the cradle they’ve just arrived where the grave is far away
