I settle closing my eyes Go to the edge of the earth and I dive I don’t descend quickly like I intend to I’m suspended in air with no flight My body is immobile yet my mind is frantic with expectation I ask myself am I still alive ? For this is what I fear Surrounded by clouds that trap me I don’t want to shelter my fall I need to feel what is real My fingers intertwine with the atmosphere For moments that seem to pass by I observe the radiance of the sky The place where the stars live and the sun dies But nothing can deplete this despondency My nucleus is torn open with little shreds of glass I ask for this to be over at last
