#204 Kevin Brophy 'Small gods'

#204 ‘There are gods’

There are gods,

but they are very quiet and very happy

and don’t interfere with human activities

shhhh

shhhh

that’s right

walk round the puddle

open the gate

slow

try not to disturb any stone

be on time

believe

that inside every stone

and seed

is exactly what you hope for

shhhh

the puddle

don’t forget

to avoid it on the way back
