Amongst The Stars
by
Sekhem Psikor Strecker
I am waking here amongst the stars
That each contain a separate voice
Calling softly - calling me
So I shift and I stretch in myself
And I slip, then I fall right through
But I'll be okay - okay?
Oh hello there my friend
From where did you fall?
Can I catch you
Before you
Hurt your
Wings?
I regain consciousness alone here
And there are no more soft voices
I am bleeding - but I am
Drawing pictures in the seaside sand
And avoiding all of those shells
They are, anyway, shattered
So I wanted to become a cloud
Or returned in amongst the stars
I miss my benign darkness
Oh hello there my friend
From where did you fall?
Can I catch you
Before you
Hurt your
Wings?
But I'll never return - I know it
With my feet planted on the ground
My head is spinning; just spinning
Oh hello there my friend
What have you to send?
Is it for me?
Or is it
Just for
You?
Oh hello there my friend
From where did you fall?
Can I catch you
Before you
Hurt your
Wings?
