THE NEW GODS
THE NEW GODS
The rain
rained
as was
its wont.
It was just being
itself.
Paying no attention
to the humans
caught up in
its moment.
"Wow!" said the humans.
"Wow!" the wind mimicked them,
An old shed
offered them its protection.
Already they
soaked to the skin
set about
removing everything.
The rain now
galvanised itself.
Above their head the world was
being pulled apart
atom by atom
it seemed
that if they were to
emerge that moment
there would be nothing upon nothing
for ever and ever.
They huddled together
fearful of the thought
as if it could come
true.
They pooled their warmth
together
flesh cleaving to flesh
they knew each other
in a Biblical way.
They were taming the storm
remaking the world
with their love
even as it was
torn apart.
Each caress
putting back
molecule by molecule
the lost world.
When the great monster rain
had sulked off
they came again
into a day
made of sunshine
and the wonder
of what was
to be.
The world
created anew
in their own
image.
They now
the new gods.
