Kit Kelen #281 - considering the seed star or the big bang might have been a murmur

281
considering the seed star
or the big bang might have been a murmur

was that really it to begin?
one doubts this

the scale may be grand
but who was it heard
this first forest grow?

if there are fifteen billion years
why not fifteen billion more?

so many first things were never beginnings
so many beginnings weren't first

like cutting teeth
there was bone before that

the sea is flat from a storm before
what you held in your hand sets free
sets off
but the journey is never really beginning
because there's a road to show
where feet have been already

if that metaphor will not suit
consider the image given
consider the idea brought

this life of reciting the self
the words where they have always been

and the world was a clock spun on

if difference is just that
then
how was it, is it, to begin?

first death I die will be an instance
unique, but I know, only to me

so much open to discussion
and yet no second chance

though scope for planning's limited
nevertheless there's an imperative
to try to get it right
