Understand

Balance a star
in the palm of a hand,
give in utterly to its demand
awaken the enormity of distance
understand.

Stand at the edge
of two lands
animal…god
given every chance
given none.

Wings to soar
weights to drown
loves deeper than an ocean
yet offers to the same
a heart of sand.

Calculate a star
in the palm of a hand
be reckless to its demand
travel that immense void
understand.

Inhabit both lands
that which was
that which might have been
divorcing the two
dwell the choices made.
