If there is but one tear,
for whom would you cry?
Whose pain would you fear
as it slid down your eye?

If there is but one moment
capable of redoing,
a remembrance redone,
how would you comment
upon your viewing
the chosen one?

If there is but one dance—
a waltz across the floor—
would you seek romance,
or head for the door?

If there is a sudden desire
to find the one thing
you most need,
would you light the fire
even if it may sting
so you may be freed?

If there is nothing to gain
at the edge of night,
would it cause more pain
to stay and fight?

If there is opportunity
will you knock
on the door of desire,
or waste your ability
watching the clock,
waiting for life to expire?

If there is but one day
until your death,
what would you say
with your final breath?

Dance with me under the moon.  Touch my pale skin.  Devour me.  Love me.

I would say "Jesus:

and the sun drips honey."

Well, now you've got me. Of course we would teleport to Montana so that my last words could be recorded:"let's go fishin."

"I am not now that which I have been."
