55
nobody stirs
this ageless gloom
no tick, no tock
in mother's womb
the halls, unfurnished
echo naught
by no one built
from nothing wrought
in amniotic brine
musn't something drift?
where is mother's gift?
where wander creatures?
where spins the earth?
where dance the angels?
will mother give birth?
forever slumber yields no rest
34
quoth the eternal
"i've no bud
no branch to bloom
i spend myself
in unwalled room
oh that i had
a lamp to light
i would brighten
this forever night"
and powerful he was
21
unmeasured linger
celestial finger
touch
Heaven quake
Hades quiver
elemental shake
voluntary shiver
Mother shriek
Shiver speak
Mighty Sol Arise
13
O Shiver strengthen
to a buzz
sail o'er the world
like Luna does
8
march, swim
sneak, feel
shelter, drink
hunt, steal
5
think
rethink
worship
adapt
survive
3
react
rebuild
thrive
