myself.
No one saw.
I stood next to the window and I
melted in.
There's a danger in this, being transformed.
It made my own hands fade
away,
and suddenly I couldn't even see my knees, only hear,
listening so patiently
to my careful heartbeats, nearly deaf from the
singularity
of the sound. I wondered
did the sun catch some piece of my soul on its way through,
glinting, reminding the world.
The walls saw me, I'm sure. I know because they told me.
They whispered,
"We see you. Don't worry. We
know."
Very nice. The line breaks are interesting, is there a particular reason why you broke off when you did? I loved the personification you gave to the walls, and the part about the sun. Very well done!
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful sense of absurdity and abstraction and take simple exercises in such a unique direction. Fab.
