Drawn ever inward
A moth to the candle
I fly to the colour
Now spiralling upward

Pushed ever outward
I feel the heat burning
Don't get any closer
I'm trapped in the circle

Mind split like Berlin
Both repelled and attracted
A midsummer night's dream
Of light makes me linger

Certain, complacent
Fly straight to the centre
Onward, insubstantial
Light as a neutrino

Crossing the chandelier
Dark clouds, mephitic
A midsummer nightmare
The burning, the turning

Wall cracks and crumbles
East meets West, certainty
Realization
This will not return to me

Night closes over
Split by a clarinet
Perish in twilight
And dissonance
