Adoration of the Object
by Robert Kenter
having found myself in a state of perpetual adoration
having given myself up
I was heading for a state of disengagement
I was opening up
I was owning up
to a point of distraction
to the endless fascination
I was at the point of the waterfall
as it tumbles over
I was tumbling
over the edge of desire
I was plunging into fascination
I was heading for a stage of disentanglement
I was lifting my head out of the water
I was open to new sensation
I was opening up
I was falling
I was setting myself up for the big fall
I could see the end coming
I could see the point of no return
I could see failure etched
in your eyes
I was heading for that flaw
I was running from the fire
I was wearing asbestos
I was ash
I was coughing
up new sensation
I was changing from water to fire and
back again
at the back of buildings
I was dancing
I was leaning
leaning over the edge
of the waterfall
