They Did

The world made us to each make our own world.
We made our gods, and each god makes an us.
Which us are you? What’s it like in your world?

If you would like to know how this world goes,
You can, but not if you don’t ask, and not
Past the points where it comes to join your own.

As for the gods in it, they’re yours, your ghosts,
Your names you’ve learned or coined for each of them,
Your faith that they made you who makes your world.
