How can I
exist in the universe
when I am prohibited
from leaving myself here
on Earth
without repercussions?
Though I send my prayers
and cast my spells
only the soil beneath my feet
vibrates
and keeps me grounded
Above me knows how much
my passion longs for its embrace
The clock I hear
ticks alongside me when
I bow my head
Though it is the pendulum I
see when I look up
Oh, sweet precious clicks
For some to get their kicks
Do bid me mercy
to be one with you and
just once to feel like number one
while my eyes can see above and
below
For if I should bow my head
once too many times
I wouldn’t have
the very best of both worlds
to thank
