"God Hunger" by Michael Ryan
When the immutable accidents of birth--
hometown, parentage, all the rest--
no longer anchor this fiction of self
and its incessant I me mine
then words won't be like nerves in a stump
crackling with messages that end up nowhere
and I'll put on the wind like a gown of light linen
and go be a king in a field of weeds.
