I learned to twist myself to stand on fingers and spin above the world

to stand on fingers and spin above the world I accepted weights' abiding demand

I accepted weights' abiding demand by taking the ground as the sky I could meet

by taking the ground as the sky I could meet I knew the space that cages us

we forget our light to rue the fat we burn

to name ourselves mere effigy we forget our light.

in a curve I augur unaccounted origin and end

augur unaccounted origin and end and account the line a life

and account the line a life and close a curve from end to end

and close a curve from end to end and call a boundary a thing it holds

and call a boundary a thing it holds and a thing a boundary expanding

and a thing a boundary expanding in a curve I augur

and beyond the line and curve we know unaccounted origin and end.
