Spiral
in which direction
could I fall.
Higher
I climb, into
my grave
Another day another place --
I am here.
You know,
I want to be near you.
You know,
I'm too far
Away
I try to hold on,
to falling stars.
Another place, another time
I am
far
away from here.
spiral higher, near to me.
Who are they, all hanging
around
watching me --
when I'm down.
I am here.
Moving backwards as I reach towards
the top.
I am inside
out
of the crowd. I am there.
Spiral, in which direction
is it up, is it down
to reach for the top.
Another day downhill,
I am here.
