Suppose at that instant afterward
the strong nuclear and the weak
– prone to entropy –
combined with electromagnetic force
as physicists propose
halts
the gravitational fourth so slight it hardly mattered
though it holds us like a god in its hands
while the immanent bellows blows galaxies
spiraling languorously
farther and farther and farther apart
the long exhale of a Titan’s breath
until that cavernous lung empties
a split in time
Wham!
and the Immanent Will begins a long deep inhale
