...

We live with those bright beings long ago

And far away inside our bones  and mind.

If they be gods or not we do not know.

So long as they reveal themselves aligned

With beauty and the right, and harmonize

With moisture’s  joys we compass them with love

As cool as zones of borealis skies.

We care about them since they are above

Our blood and semen and our panting sweat.

We care about these beings in their sphere

Wherever that is.  We do not forget.

We wait for their essentials to cohere

Inside our spirits as we pray without

A prayer.  We wait to hear their laughter shout.
