he used to like the feeling- drifting slowly
- up above the clouds
- he used to smile and shout hello
- to all the people down below
- so far
-
- it was so beautiful to be alive
- drifting slowly across the sky
-
- but now
- the time has spun around
- he kicks his heels towards the ground
- aching for the earth beneath his feet
- but now
- the time has spun around
- he strains his ears towards the sound
- aching for a taste of it
-
- he can’t even recall
- what it was that he had
- the sweetness of her face
- he can’t even recall
- the very lines of her
- the very lines of her
- the very lines of her
-
- even when it first began
- he knew it couldn’t last
- cause they told him so
- and why would they lie
- it’s not what the body needs
- it’s not what the body needs
- it’s not what the body needs
-
- it was so beautiful to be alive
- drifting slowly across the sky
- it was so beautiful to be alive
- with everywhere and nowhere to land
- with everywhere and nowhere
