Revolution
It rained yesterday
and I held some drops in my tongue
It tasted fire, and brimstone.
Heaving is burning, flamelessly.
I let me ears walk into my heart
and heard the gods speaking
They said if we know the names of flood
We will run and leave our cities to water.
They said it's the way to bring heaven
Down, and down to earth.
They said it will rain a flood again, today
Children will convulse, and know
That growing into pillars
Is another beautiful way to die.
They said we will breathe-in cold
and become rocks, breaking into pebbles
The sky is falling tonight
Be sad, for it won't rise again at dawn
Leave! Carry your sins and run
Or die with life falling off your lips.
