Will music fall flat
upon my ears? Could
the sun rising become
only the day's light?
Is my laughter then
only an empty sound?
If I should lose my soul,
might I forget to forgive?
Would I still practice in joy
that which could just be done?
Would I care if you cry?
If I should lose my soul,
would I bargain to live
one more minute
without human love?
Seeing my reflection
in a rodent's eyes
and in the flick of a
serpent's tail?
