Tiktaalik

In the beginning, God
created everything. So it went:
cosmic egg, serpent,
proto man, and water,
darkness, light. In that order,
or with slight variations. Words invent
everything: Theos en ho logos.

The voice of a man sent 
from God stirred up dry leaves,
wet the lips with new myths.
For such a spring
I thirst, Theophilus.

Not the poor
wisdom that fish devours fish
but some spiritual gift
for driftwood washed ashore.

See, see, a Devonian Tiktaalik
returns once more to water like at 
the beginning.
