Shakes

once, anchor(anger?) ride
took it on
all despite
watch and see
what it had done
now its something
you don't want

take, take the road
hold tight
don't let go
watch it fall
watch it land
watch it die
watch it stand

take from the night
give it back
run and hide

now at your door
uninvited back for more
with its fingers
in your mouth
the familiar
on your tongue

and its blood
under your skin
its intentions
in your hands

take from the night
give it back
run and hide

take from the night
give it back
run and hide
