Do you quake like me?
Do you rustle and shake, shoot light
Fire blow breeze storm
Open wide
Sigh softly down and settle into dust
When we must muster the strength to shine
To break from rust do you
Quake like me
Erupt silently, breaking unknowing
Crackling softly
Lead snaps on paper perfect, solemn untouched and
Pens
Send scratch and dance, do you shake?
Do you ache, frozen in breath on sky
Do you cry out you---
Do you fall?
Terminal velocity calmly calling do you drip
Do you break?
Do you open wide? Sigh

Cigarette in hand, death is nigh
Do you eye?
So you dig deep where flesh burns back from fingernails cracking agains stone alive?
Do you quake?
Do you thrive?
This stone's alive.
