anemoi

"progress is forfeit,"

or so you would sing.

relying on the wind to bring

all these things to air.


my own home is worthless,

a falter to beset.

but i was dumb and restless, yes:

a pious false prophet.


but now i awake and shake

in sheets i'll coat with sweat;

in every dream i recreate

the life that i have left.


all i offer to your sons and daughters:

"reach for nothing;

take what you create."


all i offer is laid out on the altar
