Dream of Creation

She was asleep but her gaze dragged above, and a shadow was drawn with them she let him make night swathing her in darkness planting nebula in sockets, he watched galaxies grow as a yawning black hole revealed destiny he made moons of breasts the big bang started low in on her belly, the Louvre hung a milky way under the pyramid of glass she became another universe rolled out as Tibetan prayer mat, worshipped from the beginning a religion of the ancients, and demon in dark ages comets shot to fizz and suns burned till Eve’s eternal blaze ended ~~~~ shimmering in black velvet licking rice from suns, I stoke the fires, of the inferno blowing the everlasting breath smoothing meteors, in the nuclear fusion of solar wind but I am cold shooting comets erupted and dead stars were born over and over I craft a tide in astronomy forever swathed in the blackness, and around the pillars of creation, as shadows ripple along hem of Nyx, my shoulders rest on hands Divine
