On a black dot
in the centre of my room
crouched in myself
enclosed by four walls.

If I close my eyes
they’re far away
but when I look up
they’re so close.

They’re near to me
they pinch me
they crush me
they make me disappear.

Now I’m only a mind
there’s no head
no arms, no legs
the body is dead.

All is dark,
all has fallen in night,
and small, dim lights
begin to light the universe.

The spherical sides
became so close,
and the stars so bright,
and my mind so pressed.

They’re near to me
they pinch me
they crush me
they make me disappear.

Now I’m only a mind
there’s no head
no arms, no legs
the body is dead.

Now I’m in my room again
and I feel the burning of my pain.
