It is the origami birds of my world that float down and remind me how little I should care
This is the perfection I see everywhere.
Their folded joints harmonise with hummingbird heartbeats
Close to my open eyes and carefully concentrated worrying.
I am astounded by the depth at which they warn me:
Be something, but make it unsatisfied.
Or else the perfection will die from this world.
How could I ever be trusted with such a grand devotion?
The cause of the Uppers reveals not only our souls' darkened purpose,
A meeting with the Fates to drain eighteen rivers of their memories
And even the final chime of peace as the perfection scatters to find itself,
To only ever be seen
Everywhere
Else.
