When the earth began to bobble
Beneath our gallant feet,
And the tall stars staggered
Through a comet-clotted sky,
We scanned the clouds’ edges
For strange, familiar lights,
Each other’s eyes for hope.
But no savior hid behind either,
And so we clung together
Through the shaking and the fire,
Our shattered eyes fastened
On a half-forgotten promise
Somewhere high above this death.
