And Like Through the Eye Go I

In a high-rise apartment by the cold A/C

I awoke with a question mark throttling me

The dot at the bottom came down on my head

and like a snake coiled 'round my arms and my legs

By wrists and by ankles I's hoist toward the ceiling

my fingers and toes, they began to lose feeling,

and in my last throes I reached back for the covers

but to my dark dismay I was too far,

too far above them

And like through the eye go I

And like through the eye go I

I searched for a sign

a thing recognizable

but through fog and stardust I could feel

the rise and fall, the change

the return to the infinite

vaporous soil of the motherland

I'm careful, careful to thank her...

and like through the eye go I

and like through the eye go I
