And the nights grew colder
And the moon stayed longer
And sun stopped rising
And the rivers dried
But the oceans grew and the saltwater spat at the children on the shore
And the lions stopped roaring
And the elephants lowered their trunks
And the world stopped turning and the stars didn’t shine
And your heart didn’t beat in time
And the aching of mine couldn’t rhyme
With the slow hum of the hummingbird
outside the window
