First.
The thing before things.
What never was, but was.

That moment in which
Everything
Undecided,
Everything
Undefined,
Was not
Anything
Nor nothing.

A pause in creation,
As if to think,
What creator?
Whose hand behind
This instant,
If hands had never been?

A paradox,
Like breath
In an airless place;
Or place
In a void.

Contradiction
With no word spoken.
The universe spawned:
No gametogenesis.
A beginning
Out of what end?
Polarity in directionless space,
Where is only everywhere.

First.
In the beginning:
All this.
Impenetrable.
Almost eternal.
All that,
At last.
Nothing
