Judgment Day

I didn't realize all my effort

Was shaking a snow globe this whole time

Finding meaning in the flurries and how the flakes fall

The sum of a life

This many days

This many dreams

This many orgasms

I know what I'm doing

I get what I want

I cling to his skin, my face in his neck

I can't face the risks of living

The odds of dying

Either dying or mourning

They say it's judgment day,

those murmuring sparks

It's snowfall in the sun

Ringing with the good news

from snowflake to snowflake

to me

It's a call to transcend

It's another dream of ecstasy

I can't let go, however,

Of my next clear dawn

Crisp, still air

Cleansed by the snow

now sparkling, countless suns flashing

from the earth to the sky
