what you gotta do to make it through winter
John Darnielle is in the middle of composing thirty short poems about his favorite metal band.
thirteen
I'm gonna keep on loving you
'cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on loving you
the way parents imagine their children
will feel toward them always
no matter what
they do
the desperate way husbands
expect wives
to love them
even after they don't any more
the love ascribed to Christ
who given over to state-sponsored torture
accepted his lot
and only complained once
this is how the guy from Drastus
feels about the serpent whose mighty coils
hold the earth together and will crush it
if our luck holds out
I'm gonna keep on loving you
great snake of the infinite void
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on loving you, great snake of the infinite void
