230: I want so much/my spirit is...

I want so much

my spirit is

 

so small

 

shrinking with all

my wanting

 

All my wanting

has me going in a circle

leading me around and around

faster and

          Faster

until this circle becomes

                    a spiral

a whirlpool

 

sucking me into myself

sucking me down to

sink in my own

normalcy

 

this is what comes of wanting

 

when the genii appears

walk the other way

           there comes no good of wishing

 

Now

I only want

this circle of my wanting

          I only want

          this circle of myself

 

to disappear

 

but even that is enough

to feed the current

          to keep the undertow

pulling me down

 

let go of everything and you will rise

 

 

buoyancy
