IBERE- A SHORT STORY BY VILLAGER
in the beginning was a portal
it shone with the marks of time
and sizzled with the undiminshable fury of the sun itself.
and the space through it led to darkness
and olodumare said let there be light
and the birds, confused in the chaos of a new destiny
furious-
scattered the sands of the beach that they laid therein
onto the eyes of the sun.
the sun cried in agony, every drop coagulating and multiplying and shifting- rapidly
through, around, away and from the sands
and so life was created.
and thereafter the sun vowed to always remind
punish the people of the land of the fury that had begotten it a million years ago.
so another canon is rewritten and history hurries along
