Caliban

Author: Abigail Betts

 

Aye, terror, scream.

Rage and dance with me.

Let the heaviness

Of your literate sky

Feed off our Tempest.

That fire keeps the beat

Of that wretched horizon.

Faerie drums sound out

And shock the heart.

Spin me out 

And in again

In Aerial frights.

I will not fight,

But let your smile strike

And dance with my shrieks.

Delight, violent heart

In the cold fingers

That grasp and scratch.

Come sway with me.

Prosper my dear,

And flood again this earth

That we alone survive

To bathe in the dark

That presses us near.
