Pray tell, what is it you desire
When faces fade inside her fire
Swallowed by her swollen womb
Waves delivering their doom
Water rising, trees in flames
Still, their vision blurred with blame
Invisible solutions bound
To vanish as they hit the ground
Lost to ears that cannot hear
The beating heart inside their tears
Cried in vain, for nothing’s lost
To time, compressed, the only cost
Reflections in the shards of light
Casting shadows through the night
As ravens guard their lifeless bones
Cayotes sparing only those
Who shed the fading memory
Of pain and pure calligraphy
Defining life in all its glory
Telling them a brand-new story
Start the game without the rules
Devised by ancient, ghostly fools
Traveling by railcar
Waiting for the brightest star
To drop her dust onto the willing
Souls who come to do her bidding
Memories left along the road
To fade, to linger, to explode
Wait no longer, invitations
Come for even the impatient
Now, you simply must attend
And bring a gift for all your friends
They wait inside their glassy domes
No one left to take them home
They cry and wail, save me please
Forgetting that they hold the keys
To freedom, just unlock the door
Step outside, across the floor
Put your feet down on the ground
Listen for that sweet, sweet sound
Unrelenting, blissful voices
Exploding into thoughtful choices
Feel her pulse through all your cells
Let her bring you home from hell
Where you vanished with your mind
Inside the rules, the limits, time
Wake up from all your dreamy dreams
You must, when it begins to seem
Too much, too far, too big, too scary
Just hop onto the waiting ferry
And watch the river have her way
While you go on about your day
