I fear
Its all-encompassing trance
Being dragged
Through its callous lows

Sailing on high
To be dashed upon earth
For the lingering coils
Of certain remorse

I fear the wrath
Of affectionate others
To be given their worlds
And their every peak and flaw

By night I bear
The maddening dreams
Of the mindless sinking
Into warm and cavalier folds

As the ever-sustained
And heedless boy
Bursting at the seams
With fury and song
