Flight

She is spinning like a planet
She is never quite at ease
I am drawn to the destruction
Even as I fear release
But no matter how we wander
It’s the purpose of the fact
I can alter my behavior
But I cannot take it back
If I alter my behavior
To look and not to touch
To live as a creator
And the face you’ve come to trust
An imaginary answer
Like a prick under the skin
Like the scratch of an adventure
As it’s begging to come in

Flight
For the right to your life
For the right to the lightness you’ve found
Flight
For the need to come down
Flight
For the right to your life to depart from the will of the earthbound
Flight
You will touch the ground

It is cold above the cloud-line
And my hands are knuckled white
I am planning my reaction
When I fix you in my sight
If we do not plummet earthwards
Or burn up in the sun
When my feet are on the ground again
And I feel what I have done
Or perhaps an anticlimax
With nothing to discuss
An unspoken understanding
Dissipated wanderlust
With a story so specific
That you know it can’t be true
I will alter my behavior
I will fix myself to you

Flight
For the right to your life
For the right to the lightness you’ve found
Flight
For the need to come down
Flight
For the right to your life to depart from the will of the earthbound
Flight
You will touch the ground
