I woke up one morning
& I knew
I was thunder & lightning.
My blood was the ghosts
of every rattlesnake ever lived.
My eyes flashed a vicious clarity
& knew the meaning of every dance.
I walked to the farthest waterfall
& washed the dust of civilization
away.
Scraped my back against the sky
shed the skin of mankind,
Threw my bones in the river one by one
& invisible,
I stole the secrets of the gods.
I laughed,
& they ran for the hills.
