| 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. |
