an apotheosis

an apotheosis

a vagrant i walked a coast far off
the sand saw the worships of many
                     others bear down full of hope and not knowing
to make any answers for
             their joy not for me nor any
                                to be found in the fire i raised
                          or the sun i protested there when
the tide withdrew me out, then in
            i would not see for fear of the salt
down, down, by time and chill
           brine
                      i made myself the vanquished
                                                 sea
god blind and useless, flailing after the
                      faithful on the water
dying of thirst
