You are not dead to the world
Little sister and younger brother and I
We do not believe it
You are only hiding and we must seek
So lie there if you wish
In your great silence
Louder than thunder roll awaiting clap
Lounging around somewhere in there under deepset
Into the dark were we can't reach you
Basting in dreams we can't yet taste or savor
But beware, you are a watched pot!
Remember not to move a muscle
You are not asleep
Some electric whisper hums a bubble on the surface
Breaks essence in the air, betrays you.
Little sister and younger brother and I
Are going to scramble up and get our fingers
Underneath that lid
And pry wide the denying eyelids
Open up!
We know you're in there
Or somewhere
And we will bell you yet
And ride your lightning
We'll dance that old Otherworld rag
Tag! You're it!
