            No being does ever deeply sense
            in belongingness' absent walls
            to whether guard or what illusion
            before identity ever falls;
            for what character's characterized
            by never matching its own pieces,
            its cold spaces--the heart of some
            rather stolen but old kisses;
            only never what's independent,
            what years forgave to firmly form
            discarded, mended, hated, ended
            no great becoming was only born;
            for what time be loved ticking
            if not presence to ever fill
            what's there belonging to only longing
            when time's own ticking--never still;

           I shall be somewhere truth
           is never constant as it belongs,
           never my pedestal, my sailing ship
           to fear the sailor--not amongst;
           but home metamorphosis
           my curiosity could so foster;
           to no forever sworn infinity
           no promised ending's ever after;
           only cherished inseparability
           by whoever believes same sort
           of what craziness or plain inconstant;
           beneath consistency moving forth,
           how secluded may this heart,
           it beats on plotted twist dependence
           or farther skies and hidden kingdoms,
           still secret heaven's its independence.
