Between the Skyscrapers

fuzzy


After days of being sick
my head still fuzzy
from fighting off death
my memories
stored away in chests
destined for the great garbage dump of nature
I feel that I am not wholly here

in the shadows there is an opening
which if I climb through I'll appear
in a well-lit world parallel to my own: I do it
I'm in a clearing now, next to a brook,
in the center of a circle of rocks
someone had arranged long ago
anticipating my return

well I'm here now, your mythical creature
summoned and awaiting your appeal
but no one greets me
