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)
