Callousness betrays a scar
where once was a point of contact
now grows a buffer, a thickening
around experience, a heavy lens
to divert the light
and bend to a more comprehensable shape
no longer merely what is
but what we want it to have been
or nothing at all

the only reason there is memory
is because we are here.
it never happened,
only in so much as it is happening now.

i am alive
ruled by gravity
my every thought and action
carried out according to the clock

the micropulsations of the sphere
north to south and back again
vibrate though the portal
at the top of my skull

pass though me
fanning out, then
funneling back again
to the place of beginning

i am grounded
only in so much as I can feel
the origin from whence it comes
the pull to earth
