• Naked foot touches ground

    Dirt so cold

    Beats so slow

    Rhythm, rhythm, rhythm

    My pulse picks up the pace

    Anger, Sadness, happiness

    Erased, erased, erased

    I feel nothing, glorious nothing

    Feet aflame

    Heart guiding the music

    Spirals

    Spinning, spinning, spinning

    Head snaps back

    Voices rejoice in unison at the sight of this transformation

    Eyes fail as images blind them

    Drunk, drunk, drunk with this madness

    Spine arches

    Oh let it snap! Let it all break!

    Pray the flesh to crumble!

    Beg the skull to shatter!

    "Destroy us", The animalistic hunger screams in my ears!

    "YES!"

    Blood

    Body falters

    Touch, sound, taste, sight, smell

    They all dull

    Death forces his lips upon mine, swallowing precious air

    Accepting it

    The music slows, inaudible

    Life is gone, as if it was never there to begin with.

    Dead

    Silence

    ...

    Hands twitch

    Blood awakens in the veins

    Inner pieces stitch themselves whole

    Lungs grasp from for new air

    Gasp!

    Fill them!

    Rebirth!

    Feet begin to step in reanimation

    A new beat

    Arms raise high to the gods in thanks

    Dancing on tippy toes

    Twirling, twirling, twirling

    The dead shell falls away

    "We are reborn!" whisper these melodic voices

    Anger, sadness, happiness and everything else

    Blend into this newly birthed spirit

    Hips sway

    Fingers chime

    Heart soars

    Soul blooms

    Alive!

    But now the song ends

    The dance halts

    It's time to return to earth

    Be normal

    Until the time comes to be destroyed and born again.

    Cold soil still burning with heat.
