"you're clownlike
happiest on your hands
feet to the stars and moon-skulled"
head in the clouds
feet up there too
i disconnect when i'm with you
missing person, someone find me, free me
from this world that treats me so gently

"by the roots of my hair some G-d got hold of me"
he grabbed me and i could not flee
i felt empty
i felt weightless
i felt rootless
i felt groundless
I FELT NOT OF THIS WORLD
LIKE SOMETHING G-DLY HAD ENTERED ME
I FELT LIKE ASHES
I FELT PLUMMETING DEEPLY ONCE AGAIN
AGAIN
AGAIN
AGAIN
AGAIN

i felt something G-dly enter me
and then i knew that we were all the same
i look on kindly at the clouds and trees
i know that once they were just like me.
