The Grasshopper Lies Heavy

A poem inspired by Man in the High Castle

By G. A. BoteroPublished 4 years ago • Updated 4 months ago • 1 min read

I lie awake

wondering if the portal will ever break

To see myself in other lights

and see my heart in full sight

I wonder how I will be judged

a single soul, the one that’s me

or a multiple equation

balance from a limited infinity

The good, the bad, the righteous, and wicked

All are part of one soul

parted at the big bang

together for eternity's toll

Every night I lay awake

Wondering if my soul twins

will condemn me forever in the lake

or will goodness tip the equation towards grace

I have a million bad ideas, until a good one surfaces. Poetry, short stories, essays.
