Naked on my couch,
I pray to all the gods.
A glass of red wine
rests in my left hand
while the communion wafer
I saved from this morning
lies on my knee.
Around my neck,
a pentacle hangs from a silver chain.
A circle of salt surrounds me.
On a marble pedestal by the window,
a censer burns a gift
given to me by Tibetan wise men.
Near my bust of Pallas,
a miniature totem
honors all who came before me.
Naked on my couch,
I pray to all the gods
because there is too much conflict
to stick to just one.
I sit in the middle
of a scene cluttered with tokens
of my desperation,
and as I yearn for answers,
direction, companionship,
I dread a revelation
that all of these relics
are equally lame.
Naked on my couch,
I pray to all the gods when,
after years of waiting,
I receive, still, silence.

| silence huh? what a surprise. maybe you shouldn't rely on these "Gods" to solve your problems... I find the best way is doing it yourself... but if you're trying to save the world, well... good luck with that. |
