Absurd Myths

Crossing the divine, 
I ask the marigolds 
to return to the dust.

The gods were angry, 
and dead would not speak 
and the living were dead.

I am now heading towards? 
the mute bells, disbelieving? 
the great enlightment.

Rebuilding what was not true. 
A dream will start telling 
the price of the inflicted wounds.

I am not sure: 
who were at fault.
The letters ?
or the words ?
