A Million Miles Below You I
-MistressAli

Deep down
A million shovel strokes, a million miles below you
Your feet step above my face. The curve of nose,
The deadened eyes, the mouth a mirthless line.
High above me, you walk. You stride the ground of the living,
A million miles above me.


A Million Miles Below You II
You say we’re on equal ground here,
We’re eye to eye, and I am good,
Just as good as you, just as good as anyone.
Blind to not see all this space between us
You, a giant, I, an insect, worm, molecule. 
So hard to breathe here, but you are oblivious
You dance the ground over me
I, a million miles below you.
