gradually moving further and further away
like someone who leaves home
and wonders years later they must all
be dead by now and in any event
there’s nothing left to return to
and yet all this time we struggle
with our ideas about this
and our conception of that
never pausing to notice
these are what the gods became
the sources of our thoughts
and the thoughts themselves
close by and as they always were
so that even our fashion for atheism
was inspired by some clever gnomes
elementals who live in the earth
and make their homes with worms
