Regenesis
Throbbing, throbbing, the sky was gone and dark prevailed.
The All was bare. Just radiated stone.
Then Providence! God’s unwinding spring had failed!
Back again the flesh was brought to bone
as time contracted ‘gainst the end he willed.
Rushing in from outer void -- a moan
both low and high. Terror. Even Nothing thrilled.
Glowing matter hurled to the place
from which it flew. Cold soil vapour spilled
to earth, and water cooled down near it’s face.
The flailing lash of Ra’d retracted back
and brought again the halo out of space.
The Halo, nebula of all that lived,
compressed; a trillion sparks were born in black,
burst and burnt away the haze, brought day
trees, grass and breeze; Duat, loud roaring, pushed back!
The firmament was blue again. Clouds took up their way.
And in the kitchen, ‘round our table, we pray.
