The Grasshopper Lies Heavy
A poem inspired by Man in the High Castle
I lay 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 band
together for eternities dole
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
