I want to be the admirer
I want to be a tiny speck of white against a vast cliff face
I want to be the last human on earth.
I want to look up at the sky and lose myself hopelessly
I want the stars to blaze with passion and hunger
suspended in their quiet, empty storm

I want to rest
soundless
at the bottom of the ocean
and feel the colossal depths within me, so still
So dark and immeasurable is this world

I want to stretch my arms as wide as the magnetic breath
of this earth and encompass
Oh, how I could adore
Oh, how you captivate me
