The freefall of God: he skydives into an egg,
infinity supersaturating a life cycle. You know
the story: shepherds keep watch by night
while Christ hatches his own infancy.
The opposite of incarnation is apotheosis.
This is how you will know the Antichrist:
not because he’s charring the air in a snakeskin
suit or trying to shoot God out of the sky.
Isn’t it always us, after all, hatching deicides
while fallen angels sunburn? No, watch
for the fool who flays his own flesh. Watch
for the liar who shoots himself into the sky.
