Float

I walked to the end of the earth today and looked over the edge

Into the darkness where there was no seeing or being seen

And like a swan into water I took the dive down deep

And drifted like Alice amongst the floating rubble

That was lost and forgotten at points or another

And as a clock came down upon my noggin

I forgot all of my inhibitions and all there was to recollect

Cleansed of my shame as if baptized again

I floated in the serene darkness content, and vacant

letting the cracks in my organs fill with blissful forgetfulness

At ease I floated, at ease I floated,

Into a limitless rest

No longer human but dreamer I floated and floated

No longer down or up or sideways and back, at peace

I floated and floated

And as the air grew cool, and the sound grew stale

And my stomach dropped and my mouth grew dry

I landed

And my bones shattered into bits and pieces

Like glass on the kitchen tile

And my skull denounced my brain,

My dreamer propelled from my chest cavity and bounced like a ball towards the light

As my eyeballs watched unable to catch the beam

Dreamer left me strewn on the ground

And returned to me my waking nightmares of true

Alone in the menacing murk
