Our gods and ghosts both thinly disguised
walk among us daily,
with assured familiarity,
in plain sight they move unnoticed,
unrecognized as immortals.
Were they lauded,
what laurels would we accord?
which sagas recite,
libations pour, favours ask,
audiences seek, with
these super-human beings.
We should never know our gods
or ever meet our ghosts, for
we will be ruined
and in turn ruin them.
