Quake
Feel the slight tremor grow into a judder
then the slides begin to announce her coming
with the water bath and blast,
keep your mind together, fear not; just wonder.
An earthquake.
feel the slight shiver grow into a shudder
then the pulsing heart announces her coming
with the blood flush and flash
keep your mind together, fear not; just ponder
A mind quake.
We suffer death but once,
the quake passes leaving fear and pain in her wake.
