21 July 2011

in deference to Robinson Jeffers's “vision of the self-hanged god”

whither one god,
from many gods,
came the god of time

hanging, chained, from the world's tree...

whose disciples preach
living in the moment:
           now
not then, not when
           now...

to stop time,
make it stand still,
and last forever:

            immortality.
                           tick...tick...tick...
