In the interest of safety
Please evacuate my life immediately.
This is a dangerous area.
Do not enter.
The world is coming to an end,
Final as vinyl.
I want to dance like an invisible,
Careless as God,
Like a manic witch for the moon.
I want to eat loam and taste soil in my mouth.
I want to scream your name so loud,
Lightning follows thunder.
The stars are my night-light
Because I'm afraid of the dark.
But the world is coming to an end.
And when the stars fall like withered leaves
And my night-light goes out,
I'll brave the dark,
For the first time in my life,
A dark like the beginning of time,
And find you.
Using echolocation like a dolphin
I'll send words into space.
If they bounce back,
I'll know you haven't caught them.
And when you catch them
Like fireflies in a jar,
And I find you,
I'll hold your hand,
And we'll feel
(But not see)
The world melt away
As if it were an iceberg in the tropics,
And I won't be afraid.
