The Gods of Enough by Neile Graham
the god of deep, dreamless sleep
the goddess of crisp waking
the god of cool, morning light
the goddess of salt and sanded waters
the god of wave-tumbled pebbles
the goddess of low tide treasures
the god of dappled shade
the goddess of that breeze in those trees
the god of the story those winds tell
the goddess of groggy heat
the god of sweat raised and razing
the goddess of ice on that skin
the god of bread pulled from the oven
the goddess of summer-warm blackberries
the god of the peach trail down your chin
the god of recall
the goddess of remembrance
I am alive I am alive I live
