Here I am in Babel
Where languages I don't know
Make more sense than
The tongue I grew up speaking

I've been tricked into
Beginning this tower
This tower that ends
Where it begins

But, ceaselessly,
It enchants me
The promises of belonging
Of finding peace in my place

Even if I thought I could abandon it
My soul is not the only one in danger
From this threat I build
Away from, and towards

This threat of no circle
No beginning, no end
The threat that is no threat:
Binding being bound releasing surrendering
