The Words Of The Frayed Gods Poem by Benjamin Chiu Uy

The Words of the Frayed Gods

The words of the frayed God teaches us.
We are frayed as the leaves of a tree,

The grass
Fallen to the ground.

The tree that broke its back,
Defending a storm.

That now is the only path,
Now is the only sky

The leaves to dance,
The nights to sing,

The flowers to please,
The hands to heal,
The heart to hope,

The bandswill be unable to continue the anthem if a rain would come,

Everything will be disturbedby an oncoming funeral troupe,

You are dead if hit by a blind cab driver,
Crossing a a safe pedestrian lane.

Nothing consoles with this temprory peace with silence.
