Refuge Lost



there was this time
---- this space
i once occupied

where i could go
---- to find
me

everything is backwards
---- forwards
fast, instant, go go go

and somewhere in that
---- i am hiding
feeling like inertia binds me
flat
against myself
against a new life

there are no mountaintops
---- to scream from
no caves in which to seek refuge
from the pull of reality

just a tiny raft
built by a dream, a wish, a hope

flung into a turbulent sea...
