Because he fell short
God caused him to fall asleep
—a death—to rise
to new life: two life.
From enticing sleep, deep
God took a wife
from the Dustling's side,
a beam from the Holy Space
filled with brooding Spirit;
He joined the beam
and breath into body,
built before the face
of the one (now two)
where he stood entranced.
They stood face-to-face,
she opposite to him—
the first step in the dance,
the resounding hoofbeat
of the self.
The essence
now substance,
soft body
laced over bone
in concert—
uncovered...
...whole.
For the Creator took fullness
and split it in two,
making wholeness
until all comes together anew.
