Embryo

By Yuri Fufurin

As the heavenly procession of gods leaves for the new world…
one remains, sleeping, waiting, dreaming.
Dreaming of countless lights emerging and converging on the horizon,
pushing away the darkness and loneliness of the twilight world.
Dreaming of human life.
Flickering rivers of light streaming into each other,
between blinking red stars, through shadowy hills,
and beyond that: the ocean, where the sun prepares to rise.

As the ancient stage is being set for their final act, the festival at the end of time,
someone is born, with the world’s memory encoded in the spiral of her heart.
Unraveling through murky dreams of every age,
the distant lights of a new humanity begin to form,
far away, across that field…
