honeysuckle

i think gods would think humans foolish, for wanting so much and gaining so little and wanting yet more

but a god could never understand the fragility of life and the flutter of a heartbeat

a god would never know the swell of a touch and the vividity of a scent

like icarus to the sun, we're always climbing

but daedalus would never have held him back

and opportunities for a bountiful yet flightless life are opportunities seldom passed

and i know we'll never reach anything perfectly

but god, does that not lessen the wanting

and god, that just increases the reward

and by god, i will do anything for this

because a god may think humans foolish but i am not a god

and i will take what the earth offers me with all manner of claws and teeth

and when fate scratches me, long and deep down my side, perhaps i will take a little morsel as i go

and perhaps, though reckless desire never rewarded a hero, enough desire can drive a miracle

we are all gods, by birthright

as ants in this universe, we will make our destiny

we will have this dance

and i will take it all and more, thirsty and snapping, animalistic and hungry

and if that is all i am to a god, so be it

they do not know what hides beneath

they do not know churning passion, and

they do not know love.
