I see you dancing
barefoot on shards of bloody glass
Blue black skin
dressed only in a transparent veil of sweat
Crystal remnants of a shattered menagerie
Your eyes two mouths
chant the mantra of our own inertia
our own private gravity wells to inhale
our own ancient shadows
Long shadows relentlessly grasping
Gripping me by the soul
Of my shoes
And drag me into the earth
The earth where nobody lives
And everybody is prepared to die
