“Imagine you and I were eternal—
A Goddess and a God capable of miracles,
Standing as one at the beginning of time.

Every time you kiss me, a world is created.
Every time I kiss you, a world vanishes.
When we kiss, time stops again.
Between two kisses, time continues to flow.

You kiss me first, for your breath ruptures with creativity.
One kiss, and a universe is brought to life—
A perfect world full of beauty and pain.

Wait, I whisper—another universe would be one too many.
I kiss you back, and the world vanishes.
Once again we are all alone, just you and me.

It took one cosmic unit of time for you to kiss me
And just half of that time, for me to kiss you back.
And a half of that half for you to kiss me again.

We take infinitely many turns:
Who can tell if this game is one of lust or a brawl? Each kiss betides twice faster than the last.

When the clock strikes the second cosmic unit of time
Who’ll be the winner between the two of us?
If you kiss me last, I promise we’ll be dancing through a multiverse
If I kiss you last, then everything will fall into oblivion— even this eternal love.”
Lidija Stankovikj, Alexander's Infinity
