The earth has lines in it
Cut by divine cartographers
That point me to you
And you to me
Unholy magnetism
As we orbit
Chasing one another
Endlessly
A cloud creates a shelf
And you dangle your toes
Fishing in the endless sea of soil
As spiderwebs sink to its surface
And the snake slithers on
High above the mountains
The wind blows west
And the water washes away
The salt from all my tears
You’re calling to me
From somewhere
Far, far away
Across the ocean
Or under the sea
Your voice ripples out
And the rain begins to fall
Soaking through the drought-worn earth
Through the roots
Through the clay
Through the rock
Divine Destruction
The earth crumbles
And falls away
And the little lines on its surface
Descend into darkness
Only you and I remain
Floating in ethereal mist
Surveyors of its undoing
No more lines
No more clouds
No more magnetism
No more dirt
We are the last things left
And will be
Until the sun sets
And we are lost among the stars
