One Cell

Run…
As fast as you can
Red shades of dismal
Flowing fear
Melt to the glass of sand

Hide…
In the hollow hidden dry
Drink down the spell 
Of earth and hell
Indifferent to the sky

Lie…
Forever un-seamed
Face down amidst 
The death of sound
Black holes of melody

Sleep…
To the blood of setting sun
From spiral dreams
Look down at what
One cell has now become
