Who knows how the world is twisted
it can be so
as when we were small
and laid on our backs in the winter darkness
and saw how the bright small dots
climbed steplessly
in the night sky
and we were just there
firmly on the top of the soil
ready to be crushed
by its mightiness
until
we began to understand
that we were nailed
to the vaults of earth
with billions of bright celestial bodies
below us
we held each other's hands
and together we flew over
this deep black abyss
of stars
I thought I would never let go
otherwise could any of us
endlessly fall
the world had twisted
but we always made it
because we
held each other's hands
darling
it might be
roughly so
as when we were small
and laid on our backs in the winter darkness
and saw how the bright small dots
climbed steplessly
in the night sky
and we were just there
firmly on the top of the soil
ready to be crushed
by its mightiness
until
we began to understand
that we were nailed
to the vaults of earth
with billions of bright celestial bodies
below us
we held each other's hands
and together we flew over
this deep black abyss
of stars
I thought I would never let go
otherwise could any of us
endlessly fall
the world had twisted
but we always made it
because we
held each other's hands
darling
it might be
roughly so
