Paralysis of the heart
The lifeblood of my mind
Behind it pulls apart
To find a pulse in hiding

It had been beneath me
A gentleness to the world
But untangled, untwirled
I fell from the pedistal
Into a tender ocean below

Now I sink beyond the water
Landing deeper than creation
Volumes rise above
To the pedistal I once loved

Others welcome me
And I sit to drink their wine
With every sip I smile
Leaving decadence behind
