Cosmogony

And the cosmos, which was born first in shades of bright red, then darker red, then purple, then near-black, finally fawn buried under layers of atmosphere, was split in two, because it wouldn't fit pretty on a map all at once;

and each half bled from a great stone pot filled with matchsticks and potent roots;

and they say, if one overturns the pot from which the stars of two skies flow, each half will invert itself, and the cosmos will take the form of a giant cuttlefish, and all its parts and processes will be that of the cuttlefish.
