God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.
— Genesis 1:4

So, originally,
light and dark
co-mingled,
tangled,
did it like rabbits
in the back yard,
might have been
in chaotic love
until ordained—
or, maybe,
this explains
the missing mass
of galaxies:
dark matter:
the weight of invisible
gravity,
shunted off
unto its own silent place
in the void—
