ReGenesis Chapter 1

(This is one of those fragments that I have no idea where it wants to go. Could be the beginning of a short story, a play, a prose poem, a new cult, who knows. Comments welcome.)

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. And God saw that it was good. But God was lonely. And God said, It is not good for God to be alone, so He created man and woman in his own image, in the image of God created He them; male and female created He them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth. And so they did and filled the whole earth. And God saw what He had made and, behold, it was very good. Then man and woman became arrogant and told each other that God was dead. So God died. And man and woman were lonely after God’s death. And they said, It is not good for man and woman to be alone. So they became God and created man and woman in Their own image, in the image of man and woman They created them; male and female created They them. And They saw what They had made and, behold, it was very good.
