Before the Black Hole

Before the black hole,
There is nothing.

Even if you wish to die, you cannot die.
Even if you wish to live, you cannot live.

We do not know.

Open your eyes.
Close your eyes.

As the Bible breathes its breath
Upon your lips, your nose, your eyes, and your heart,

In this moment, there is no good and evil.
In this moment, there is no man and woman.

The very first cry of genesis:
~Waa-waa~

The swirling sound of the first black hole.

A tiny seed falls upon some planet.
Friction, the laws of action and reaction.

Something is created.

We are
"That which is invisible,
Before the crying of birth!"

You are reading my words.
"This is the beginning of all things in the universe."

How?
You ask me.

What you are asking
Is not asking me,

You are asking yourself.

"Has not the Bible already answered you?"
