I climb in a way daring the floor to crush me for

the sky to touch me so that I feel meant to go

down though deeply I think I never will I think

that on a journey to the centre of the universe I'd find a mirror

and the discovery would take from me an awe-inspired 'I knew it'

and through this I avoid reflections

answers to questions unexpected or unwanted because this

life I'm writing needs to glue me to the page or else I veer away

and into the submarine that would take me to the floor of the depths of

the deepest darkest sea
