The Queer Gods

The queer gods ruled the ancient world,

The ancient world was queer,

It was ancient when the queers ruled.

 

Now we are a whisper of the past,

Now we are a thread and gasp,

 

A rasp, of leaves on a summers day,

Whisked away.

Notes

I liked your poem One Skirt Army (on this site as well), Ugochukwu-Charles Onyewuchi. It inspired me to write this one.
