From Silence

God knocked off the planets
Like marbled glass
And moved on.

Struck with the silence
He pounded what was left
Poured it into earth
And blew away nothingness
With man.

Still silence roared.

He handed him confusion
Like apples
Replaced arms with tools
Ears with voices
And gave him time enough
To fill the universe
With it's own chaos.

Man knocked off god
Then set about himself.

 

From Silence originally appeared in the14/12/05 issue of Identity Theory
