Not the God of names,
Not the God of don’ts,
Not the God who ever does Anything weird,

And keeps repeating them, saying:
“Come Dance with Me , come dance.”

“You don’t have to act crazy anymore—
We all know you were good at that,
Now retire, my dear,
From all that hard work you do
Of bringing pain to your sweet eyes and heart.
Look in a clear mountain mirror
See the beautiful ancient warrior
And the divine elements
You always carry inside
That infused this universe with sacred life
So long ago”
