transformation realization ablation elation
earthquake milkshake hard to take big mistake
i keep waiting for the earth to stop rattling
i keep waiting for
i wait

earthquake milkshake hard to take big mistake
i keep waiting for the earth to stop rattling

my pulse dances in your veins
no small victory for me
knowing that i once moved you to wonder
to see more than obscuring clouds
more than the blinding sun in the sky

and though the angels were not visible
i felt their eyes upon me, reducing
my organs to ashes
i hold them out to you now
——
for
the secret keeper
