Seize

Clutch
With your hands
Or fingers hungry
With restlessness

Grab

With your stares
Out from this world
Into the palm of your hands

Clamour

On the churning wheels
An indefinite struggle
To fill the void

Reach

So desperately
Yet quietly, obviously
For what you can't touch

Hold

On stubborn hope
A misled martyr
A scapegoat for ego

Feel

Slowly ever further
Surely ever doubtful
Living the modern myth

Carry

All you cannot hold
Cannot let go of

With hands we do not have

Cast

Judging glimpses
The best you can afford
To check on reality, and our space

Pull

All that you want
In hope and in vain
So full, yet still so hungry

Push

All that you dislike
Every grain, every speck
And maybe perfect will be found

Drop

How we have fallen
Living world, dying people
And we don't know which way is up
