Description
standing in a dark vast space
but reach out and there are
walls an inch from you.
a small dog crosses the road alone
before you can make a decision.
someone invisible pries your ribs apart, outwards, one by one
then leaves you
open, throbbing.
you jump in the first body of water
alone in all your clothes.
someone hums a tune you don't recognize
and it reaches you in an echo.
you suck on a burnt thumb.
the hot water runs out.
the forest holds you.
you snap through three worlds
in quick succession
click
click
click
you are gelatinous, clear.
someone reaches through
and removes the hard
dormant pit in your chest.
kiddie pool plastic smell.
discarded book of wet matches.
singing in the distance.
hymns in the distance.
