Earth Shake

I'm floating along flickering iridescent pathways
Cloaked in a fog with an inner murmur cold as black ice
Spinning out as the wheels catch and jerk
Fool me once, fool me twice

The ground feels like air beneath my feet
The stars are twinkling calling my ancient names
I am met by twitching slideshows in this melting mirror
A long gray haired old woman with starry eyes that tell me we are the same.

 It's been a long road, kindred heart,
My will would have me rip you from my pulsing chest.
I'll beat in rhythm to the mournful songs of discarded souls in the sea
And to the whistling verses of the East and the West.

Shake and move the earth, you kindred spirits in the shadows.
I've seen your bared teeth and felt the hunger in your breath.
I was blind but now I see
Take my life I fear no death
