The Ancients


floating aimlessly throughout the heavens
gods engage in battles with other gods who
are in fear of growing old, testosterone in
their veins for a millennium...  mating with
the stars in order to create planets of life
on which they will rule from time to time,
centurions guard the galaxies and cosmic
priests provide eternal salvation for all 
those who bear witness creator who dwells
on the edge of everything, wielding power
as though fear needs constant stimulation,
intergalactic handmaidens are sent to tease
the gods who would be more than they are
but doing so unknowingly since greed exists
not in their vocabularies...  colliding dimension
revolve around the core of existence and star
wizards use crescent moons to fish from...
the universe expands and contract from the
pressure provided by the dark energy that
holds it all together, deciding arbitrarily 
which planets will live or die and which 
ones will offer life, then take it all away...
gods roam the universe like fish in an
aquarium without the benefit of guidance
provided by the one who started it all.
