my own little world

0 posted 2005-03-23 04:04 PM


Hangers attack and scratch me
on a quiet night in my closet
while I hold a violently purring
twitching creature in my arms,
cradling softly,
as midnight beckons an eerie remembrance
of the closet that swallowed
focused me into another, and another
until I became a dark hallway,
folding around
with echoes flying past the doorway.
I take a step
and another
into the looming collectivity of this space,

further seems forever
as i move faster and faster
until I am running
through this endless stretch -
until finally,
out of the cold is a quiet, yet distinct
"hello"
so gentle I stop dead in my tracks.

begin to fall
so far that i wonder
if this is the pit of the universe
consuming me whole
farther and deeper.
knowing I’m not alone,
still clutching the terrible vibration of a thing,
I bury my face into it's fur
and realize I'm no longer falling, but standing
at the end of my journey,
in a room.
full of the smell of the same voice.
hear the whisper still
"hello
are you listening?...
pay attention, you just got a phone call"

How can I stand here and not be moved by you? - Lifehouse

This is so typical of dreams we have no control over.

Great poem, enjoyed very much.
