Explode

Running upstream, past tigers and comets
through locked rooms and rivers, fields and ruins
as the vortex approaches and time runs out
slowdown
slow down
s l o w d o w n ....wait

midnight and ten, the thoughts run down my spine
curtains falling, stage mice scurry, under cords and over

walking downstream, with lizards and trees
your lips feel like sunset
your mouth tastes like Paradise

turning, turning

running, dancing

falling, falling

stumble,

explode.
