The God of Parallax

There is a god,
The Tiniest of gods,
An immovable force that quickens.
His is a world
Built on parallax
& Its emblem is known as The Heavenly Swan.
There’s a way in this world
Built on parallax
That appears to be light like a breeze.
For the wind, so they hope,
One day will blow back
With a gracious hand
& Bring stillness to the trees.
~
This tiny god
With his trembling hand
Has no sway with the older, inveterate gods.
With a stamp of his foot
Behind parallax
In a bluster, he bore down a terrible storm.
On the back of a book
About circumstance,
He did scratch out a decree
That the way in this world
Is to trust no man
& To wander steadfast into your own kind of breeze.
There’s a saying in this world
We call paradise
At the edge of everything
That the weight of this world
Acts as parallax
& I can’t imagine what it’ll look like when we leave.
