The Commotion

The littlest games the ego plays:

what a marvelous match.

And what but underbrush could burn

and burn away the burdens on your back?

There never has been an unintended clamor;

The commotion of the winds

will carry on in song and dance

and never touch the land —

Or maybe, in an Otherworld,

our gods are in a trance.

Our gods are building new canoes,

out of charcoal, and out of glass.
