Don't Look Down
Do you become
famished
before you get
hungry
Do you become
smitten
when being
alone
Do you become
distant
once over
the target
Do you become
vagrant
though always
at home
Do you become
younger
with wrinkles
upon you
Do you become
foreign
while taking
the pledge
Do you become
angry
and lost
in your garden
Do you become
tempted
when nearing
— the edge
(Dreamsleep: September, 2025)
