Breathing the Mystery

The distance between universes is
Thin as skin, fragile as the evening
When the sun sets

Severing the mortal coil you
Kiss the ground that holds you down
That engulfs you

Gravity is your enemy as you struggle
Hard for balance, faltering
Submerged in vertigo

See that freight train a-coming
Halfway down the tunnel
A change of heart sacrificed
To the seconds that are left you
