A spinning top, which has spun itself into delirium. A body, cushioned by the ocean, sinking into oblivion. That the head leads up until the heart quakes and stops, is a truth we are forced into accepting. That when I rise I am an eagle, and when, through weariness or grief, or fear, I descend, then I am a stone gathering speed before coming to a sudden jolting halt. Or I am a crescent moon low on the horizon, receding as a tide at its ebb, to then gather momentum to turn and come flooding as moonlight on a field.
