The steady pulse
of my beating heart
Swings in time with the soothing cello
And strings of earth and air
I see my body, I am outside
I am no longer within
My thoughts are just bubbles
floating in the air
My feet are just stable
but not part of the earth
This is my death
The passing away of my soul
Deepening the plunge,
as I immerse myself within the sorrow
Give away my soul, you say
Stay, you say
Do, you say
Don't, you scream
muffled.
I cry out in those leaping intervals
The painful pulls of your desires
ripping at my already weakened heart.
My strength deteriorates as the dominant over turns
I, lying on the ground, cold to you.
Amen, they say.
To men. The end.

The steady pulse
of my beating heart
Swings in time with the soothing cello
And strings of earth and air
I see my body, I am outside
I am no longer within
My thoughts are just bubbles
floating in the air
My feet are just stable
but not part of the earth
This is my death
The passing away of my soul
Deepening the plunge,
as I immerse myself within the sorrow
Give away my soul, you say
Stay, you say
Do, you say
Don't, you scream

I cry out in those leaping intervals
The painful pulls of your desires
ripping at my already weakened heart.
My strength deteriorates as the dominant over turns
I, lying on the ground, cold to you.
Amen, they say.
To men. The end.
