Are You Shivering

Are you shivering? Are you cold?

Are you bathed in silver or drowned in gold?

This dream's a vitality

With filaments as fine as a spider's web

Pour through your mouth

That pour through your mouth

O river of silver, O river of flowers

I lie down and shiver in your silver river

Out drips the last drop of this vital fluid

Our life has grown weary

The stars have grown old

Are you still shivering?

Are you still cold?

Are you loathsome tonight?

Does your madness shine bright?

Are you loathsome tonight?

In the oceans of the moon

Swimming squidlike and squalid

This bright moon is a liquid

The dark earth is a solid

This is moon music in the light of the moon
