Chicken and Egg
What comes first—
God or the desire
For something divine
Feast or the hunger
Love or stark shivering alone
The omnipotent father or the unbegotten son,
One of them saying
Let there be light,
The rest is darkness
The other saying forgiveness,
He knows not what he does
Just assigning names
To the timeless eternity
It’s a chicken and egg thing
The empty hole in our hearts
That gives us something to fill
This right now
(I had never noticed before)
Is the hinge
Between the lover
And the loved
This right here
Is the portal through
Which god must pass
To get to the place where
Even the gods are judged
