Day 466: creation

They say it was dark
Before the burning
Before the explosion
Before our bodies melted into oceans
My father says it was dark
Po uliuli
The kind of darkness your eyes cant adjust too
The kind we haven’t adjuted oriperly from just yet
The night
He met with more darkness
Made love
Gave birth to the slime
Gave birth to our bodies
And blood
And the parts of ourselves we don’t show enough people
Our shame
It was created in darkness too
They say
That is where the secrets are
I think that’s what they say
Im not sure
I wasn’t listening
Then
I try to listen now
To make up from everything forgotten
Like the silence
Like the darkness
all the things before the fire
before the burning
before
everything hurt
