20,000 flies attached to strings pull my body towards the sky
The fleas only live so long, as the moon becomes new,
I fall
I land among the stars who look just like me
The puerile, orbs twinkle around me, as I drift away from their abyss
I am falling, not swift, but slow
The blue bambinos engulf my sight, but I am alone.

The young boys, gone left to right
The Blue bambinos, black
The stars expire, supernova
Until finally, I hit the ground and…

20,000 flies attached to strings pull my body towards the sky
The fleas only live so long, as the moon becomes new,
I fall
