God’s Entropy (short version)

Before the beginning:

infinite and timeless unity:

Einfache Einheit, God-as-One.

Frustrated like a text folded

In on itself; language squared.

Rather than falling asleep

like a book,

there was to God

an idea.

And so unity passed

into the ten thousand things,

of quarks protons

galaxies, time and space, history

and nature, predator

and predated,

vertebrate and invertebrate,

fangs flesh claws, ketosis,

a cosmos brimming bacteria.
