Wormhole
long ago I had the life form
of an astral glittering worm
drifted borderless in space
dancing with exquisite grace
no solid ground, no tough existence
and not even any need of wings
to travel in my universe
I would never fall to earth
as light weighted as I was
only perceived
as a fierce flash
in cloudless nights
without any heavy thoughts
I then chose this black hole
to finally know
what weight is down below
