The Kármán Line

Crossed a line on the main road

Your heart in raptures and I didn’t know

What to hate

I twist around the things you say to me

I am an artist, it takes energy

Hope disappearing down a black hole

My saddest laughter is an echo

A wraith that takes my shape

Something’s telling me to write things down

Something’s telling me to turn around

Get back in the water,

get back across the river now!

Give back the goodbyes I got

It’s a rising sun opening the ground

I’m moved by the spectral glow

On the morning snow

That abandons us

And when I return to you

In the earth, in bloom

What will I still fear

A movement I can’t resist

An upcountry kiss

To bless your land
