but the thing is…
i awoke from a conversation
i was having with myself
with no idea where it started
with no idea where it was going
a harsh tone of feeling
breaks through
a coughing laugh
that came from somewhere
back and to the left
i could not see where
you had come from
i just knew
i should be there
either in your presence
or your absence
knowing you will be back
knowing i will see you soon
a jerking journey
through red mist and ether
moistens my flesh
it will be dry by morning
where i will wake with a start
throat and face bone dry
and my greatest trip
begins again
breaking up a conversation
i was having with myself
