Tremors

There’s a little shaking of the earth tonight

Just a little twitch

But it’s stronger than yesterday’s

and it grows like rabid drums

And my feet, they’ve known the ground

But now they are uncertain

Pebbles dance like mad men

Where pebbles should be still

And now my heart, it tremors

I do not know this beat.

The sea himself rolls back

Away from mountain cliffs

And the creatures that are his

Streak beneath the blue

I want to hide there too

The oracle is chanting

Eyes glazed over, white

Something is coming, he screams

Growing, coming, crawling from deeps
