the first morning

Christine T

I was there on the first morning of creation
when heaven and earth occupied one space
and no one had heard of the human race.
I was there on the first morning of creation
when a river rushed from the belly of an egg
and a mountain rose from a golden yolk.
I was there on that first morning of creation
when the waters parted like magic cloth
and the birds shook feathers at the first joke.
