Towards bright lights

and heaven, we

hesitate, weakened by gravity

unable to fly

looping through earth.

Satellites, things that catch us

make us fall.

Nets, I would love to

catch and catch those things

we lose

because gravity,

time, makes us give things up.

Still,

soul-weary

I hope for miracles

looking back towards satellites

(finally understanding what pull means)

I lift myself from earth.
