my world is shifting on its axis
falling out of orbit—
or rather falling into orbit
i feel the ground shift beneath me
like the earth is clicking into place
righting itself between heaven and hades
i'm watching the stars
realign themselves in the sky
and god what a feeling it is
to have gravity caressing me
instead of weighing me down
to breath in new air
it's intoxicating
and mind-whirling
and i'm all lightheaded
but it's the most amazing thing
i've ever witnessed
how could i go back now
when i've felt the earth
click into place?
how could i go back now
when i've watched the stars
fall into alignment?
how could i go back now
when everything has changed?
