oh sweet world, shiver into me
your claws& diamond dust
the last sweet dance
tender romance black
on the clock
the jaw of luck  the chainsaw &
the melody  the love &
disbelief  the betrayal
& the bloom, the laughter
after doom   the broken
ballroom   the earthquakes
& the prayer   the family
& the stairs collapsing the light
glimmer & glare   the utter
despair &   goodness
breathing me in
spinning me round

sometimes I’m up

sometimes it’s down
& when the wisdom is found

the cycle will go on

cyclone, dawn,

& ground

death,
rebirth
& all the causes
of
everyone
