Gods of the Earth
We were hidden deep in the caves of the earth
pushed to the surface by the cracks and shifts of the crust
walked and gave the moon her name
fell in love with Venus and the stars
We have rested in the folds of the sky
traveled in swift canoes across the milky way
lain still in the furthers corner of Orion
we must, to be born again
to settle softly into a virgin forest
to build our house of rock on a rise above the river
where we will name ourselves gods of the earth
where we will wait to be folded once again
into the cold blue creases of the sky
