This Is God
I’m back where I started
Sickled
Burning sulfur
Charred skin and bones
After an episode of starvation
I gaze upon
An egg
A galaxy
Lazily drifting through a continuum
That I,
Myself,
Created after I burned African villages to the ground and built up again
With
Sickles and burning sulfur and resistance to Malaria but susceptibility to thin air
Lacking in African villages
I am back to day zero
Eggless
Homeless
Watching galaxies drift by that I, myself, have destroyed and recreated
And burnt down again and again and again
For pleasure
For boredom
Dripping galaxies
Sickled, by a cell to a mosquito, carried across mutations and resistance,
To bow down to
Me, creator of malaria, cackling at the entire situation.
