Arise! Awaken!
Lady, the earth has shaken!
The earth split, ripe
fruit beneath my feet.
The earth split, ripe
fruit beneath my feet.
As demeter watched upon
pomegranates, I watched upon sweet
Eyes which only then turned to look,
once at the closer, available, unripe fruit.
Rise! Awaken!
Lady, the thunder's stricken!
A child chasing a crow,
prey bird praying to be preyed upon.
Song to coo to caw.
prey bird praying to be preyed upon.
Song to coo to caw.
The wind cold and heavy,
the breath sick and sad.
The ribs giving way to the un-derstand.
Escaping from the kind grasp that I must bite
through, for I cannot stand.
through, for I cannot stand.
Then I rose, awakened.
For the Lady my the earth had shaken.
