Atheism means "without gods."
God means "to call" or "to invoke."
The absence of calling is silence.
A bowing of the head is dreaming of the dead.
An atheist can define the way a head curls up
As the "mouth that refuses to rise"
Beneath those damp pillows
But the call that drifts beyond the sleeping space
The awake lips that stretch out into a hole is
Beneath those damp pillows
It is like the growling of a stiff riser
Who squirms themselves out of the ground
Beneath those damp pillows
"my mouth shall always rise"
Though it's tunnel is still blocked
Beneath those damp pillows
God means "to yawn" or "to groan."
Atheism means "without sleep."
