Prana Ferox

I went down to the basement

To check up on the sour mash

I looked down to the nonreactive ceramic tub

It was bubbling

I had stirred up the dust on the stairs coming down

I saw the dust devils swarming around

Incoming sunbeams cut them apart

And I watched a shadow pass across my heart

You were upstairs in the kitchen

With your head against the sink

Trying to cool down

Trying to cool down

I know you don't believe me but I could hear you

breathing

I looked into the tub and there the mixture was seething

With new life, new life all around

I had stirred up the dust on the stairs coming down

You were upstairs in the kitchen

With your head against the sink

Trying to cool down

Trying to cool down
