Fait accompli

by J. B. Hogan

From where and how and why?
An infinitesimal spark into
an infinite, spectacular explosion
of gases, dust, and fire,
out of nothing, something,
something so immense as to
make an impossible nothing,
a dark nothing, into a blazing something,
unfathomable source of light
shining over that nothing become something,
what wasn’t into what is, and
the mystery of what can be,
what will be, what must be,
a fait accompli begging the question:
From where and how and why?
