Diaspora
This image of two galaxies intertwining was taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope.
diaspora
for thirteen billion years it’s been the samethe universe through time and space expand
arcs charted eons ere it all began
but what took place before the efflux came?
when time and space were twisted into one
and energy the only substance known
a gasp! and harmony overthrown
which broke the matter:force continuum.
like spinning coins that rapidly whirl
whose faces indistinguishably blur
so cooling separates energy from matter
eventually two distinct species unfurl.
thus separated at the origin
their quest to find that unity again
Once the opaque shutter of plasma opened, the roiling soup of matter we recognize took shape. Drawn by gravity, these spectacular clusters of matter began to assemble into denser shapes that would make up the stars and galaxies and galactic clusters we see.
Separated by immense distances, these clouds of atomic neighbors are connected by both gravity and radiation, which forces draw some togther for form stars.
Could the force we call gravity results from a yearning to be one again?
