Sensing a change
in my position.
Start looking around
for the door.
Not sure I remember
coming in here
through a portal
in the ceiling
or the floor.
React.
Stimulating event
concurs that I exist.
Made of the same thing
as any other.
No way to differentiate
between one another.
Seek a name.
Make a sound.
Reverberate.
Echo out loud.
A tongue I do not know,
a place
I have outgrown.
An idea
I wish I’d never had.
Passing though this space
in phases.
Never what I was
when I began.
New place.
New name.
Muttered incantations
throw me forward.
No one takes me back.
I don’t recognize
this reality
I find myself in.
Not sure
when the movement
began.
It’s all falling apart.
only a memory
of together.
The next step
is gone forever.
The way out
is a portal in the sky,
under the ocean,
in my mind.
With the blink of an eye,
everything changes.
nothing ever stays the same.
