Belonging deep down inside is longing Is longing Is longing Is to be I too would rather run, bound, cactus head to cactus head Stimulating laps flung wide, the distance well rounded A working circle All of our adjacent points equally distant from The center Fulcrum self, it's fruit and its pit so deep The whole current of being rises through it There between your crotch and belly button Lonely river bottom Longing to be entertained Stimulating laps flung wide Wait, wait Before you run cactus Wait, wait, wait Just say, say Please, with your deep dimension close Say which is worse, the longing to arrive there, or the terror of approach? But maybe, someday, try Mid-slosh through intermittent voids Try standing long enough to toe the still beneath And dare an inward leap Cupping your feet around that looming orb below Glowing with the shape of real things standed Other murky stones enlighten too, to guide you (No, we can't say home) For deep down there is no promise, only longing but deep down the Longing promises to be your own Longing deep down inside If longing If longing If longing Is to be Longing deep down inside Is fucking hard It's fucking hard It's fucking hard To be longing Deep down inside Is longing Is longing Is longing Is to be Longing deep down inside is Fucking hard It's fucking hard It's fucking hard To be It is fucking hard to be longing And at the same time feel your own belonging Where it's real Deep down Deep down Deep Down
