I don’t have a religion

I have a mythology –

for mine is the passion play

grail quest

ghost dance

and mojo risin’

*

I don’t have a religion

I have a mythology –

for mine is the mythos

ethos

eros

and hieros gamos

*

I don’t have a religion

I have a mythology –

for mine is the cult of passion

code of honour

sense of humour

*

I don’t have a religion

I have an apocalypse

*

For mine is the grail quest –

round table and siege perilous

fisher king and waste land

bleeding lance and dolorous stroke

adventurous bed and questing beast

*

*

I don’t pray

I write –

I write to save myself

*

*

The gods speak in verse

and move in dance.
