## Description

THE LAND OF WALKING GODS


I built this version of myself
So fabulous, fierce, and commendable
That no one could fault or destroy me
Determined to stand like a god
Amidst the winds of the world
Omniscient.

But gods can never be held
In the arms of humans
They float above us
Unable to plant their feet
And walk in the world
Unable to yield
Into the sweet meeting of souls
The rest that is the crux of human life.

This world has become a land 
Of walking gods and absent humans
Half-like creatures 
Who don’t really know how to be here
And I am one of them.

The impressive holy garb we wear
Is our trauma
A protection we painted into existence
In the name of survival
In the name of capitalism
To help us walk through the sea
That is no longer red
No longer ferocious
No longer trying to drown us.

It is time to lay on the beach
Resuscitate our humanity
Discard the robes we wore
Naked like babes
Breathing first life
And begin again.
