We were Gods once...

long02.jpg (180733 bytes)

dot_clear.gif (807 bytes)

Proud, wild,
in possession of supple
and willing human bodies.

dot_clear.gif (807 bytes)

We tore through life like fire through a space station,
unburdened by gravity,
propelled by our all consuming passions.

square01.jpg (198897 bytes) dot_clear.gif (807 bytes) For a moment we were welcomed...
dot_clear.gif (807 bytes) ...in the heart of chaotic rituals,...
dot_clear.gif (807 bytes) ...embraced by ecstatic dancers, venerated by priests.
dot_clear.gif (807 bytes) In the midst of these maelstroms
an unpredicted fusion occurred.
dot_clear.gif (807 bytes)


Where the human and the deity were not distinguishable,
where every invocation overlapped with every other,
a living palimpsest was etched into our bodies,
burned into our beings.

We emerged from these rites as mutations.
Aberrations who would not honor the subtle or gross laws of men, we were cast out of the temples of brotherly love.

dot_clear.gif (807 bytes)

Some of us wandered the earth alone.
Stared at television sets.

long10.jpg (132168 bytes)

dot_clear.gif (807 bytes)

Knew the insides of stars and quarks alike
as if they were our own minds.

long11.jpg (133453 bytes)

dot_clear.gif (807 bytes)

Suffered the anxiety of separation,
the only death possible for an immortal being.

Some of us had been grafted together
so that we were never alone.

dot_clear.gif (807 bytes)

square02.jpg (134978 bytes)

Hearts were open to us...

dot_clear.gif (807 bytes)


so that even as we tried to forget the inquisitions
that drove us from our home...

dot_clear.gif (807 bytes)

...we were forced to know the minds of our tormentors.

dot_clear.gif (807 bytes)

square04.jpg (178060 bytes)

dot_clear.gif (807 bytes) We dressed and lived
as men of the earth
dot_clear.gif (807 bytes)
...feeling ever more transparent.
dot_clear.gif (807 bytes) Shells to house the void of creation,...
dot_clear.gif (807 bytes) ...unable to break the gaze of eternity
dot_clear.gif (807 bytes)

At last we held our own rite.
A meeting for fallen Gods.

long01.jpg (78187 bytes)

dot_clear.gif (807 bytes)

Only those who were unaware
of our inner deformities dared approach.

dot_clear.gif (807 bytes)

We used them to feed our fires
until only we remained.

long04.jpg (152182 bytes)

dot_clear.gif (807 bytes)

Our songs reached into the oblivion.

Ghosts of our former lives...

dot_clear.gif (807 bytes)

square02.jpg (134978 bytes)

...flickered before us.

dot_clear.gif (807 bytes)

The forest of forgotten worlds...

dot_clear.gif (807 bytes)

...sprang to life in the midst of our dances.

dot_clear.gif (807 bytes)
dot_clear.gif (807 bytes)

All our sorrows,
our joys spilled out of our bodies
in a deluge that swept life away.

dot_clear.gif (807 bytes)

The heat of our breath restored it again.

long03.jpg (181410 bytes)

dot_clear.gif (807 bytes)

We wrote a new incantation
upon the husks of life and
traveled backwards through the place...

long06.jpg (184691 bytes)

dot_clear.gif (807 bytes)

...where the human and the deity were undistinguishable,
where every invocation is locked in a single prism of light.

dot_clear.gif (807 bytes)

Now we wait…
as a stillness…
we wait for our time to emerge.
