12:35am: slow motion pulls through faster than expected
the ticking begins to fall back as time cries out
this is where it stops, the earth tilts as the
sun dips halfway into the night
the farthest stars drip their light
auroras dance with their blues and greens
set to a trance in God's language
we are out of tune as nature plays its rounds around us
awkward not in our appearance
but in our actions and thoughts
this is where time stalls
slow motion stops
eyes are held on a higher power
the rest of them scatter in madness
living with the laws of nature
dipped as the sun
flipped as the coin of our nation
falling into the soul's starvation
auroras dance in their colored parade
they stand their ground
we stand afraid
