It came to be

because it could do nothing else

and from its unspeakable cauldron there emerged

all that was

and all that acted on it.

It created direction

and dimensions

and filled all of them

like Amen-Re saying,

"When I came into being, being itself came into being."

Its offspring obeyed all the rules

and brought about the founding

of

mind.

I fall silent

in contemplation of it.
