The room tilts. The ceiling liquefies into silver rain and the walls breathe slowly, like enormous sleeping lungs. I taste copper clouds coating my tongue. Nicotine ghosts curl through my ribs, whispering small electric promises. My body becomes a hallway too long for my footsteps. Hands float somewhere behind me. Legs drift like forgotten anchors at the bottom of a black tide. I am a lantern filled with fog. The mind splinters into mirrors. A thousand reflections whisper Run. Fly. Dive. Somewhere a dream opens its jaw. Inside it oceans spin upside down, and I fall upward through forests of neon coral while the moon melts into syrup over my skull. Chemical constellations bloom behind my eyes. **** green smoke becomes vines, climbing the cathedral of my lungs. Liquor burns like tiny suns rolling through my veins. I chase them. The glow. The humming escape. But the body grows distant, a shoreline shrinking through a foghorn of panic. My pulse becomes a drum lost in a cavern. Someone inside me is screaming into a pillow of clouds. Someone inside me is crying saltwater. Someone inside me keeps wandering corridors with no doors. The soul flickers like a faulty bulb. Everything feels odd crooked sideways. Reality loosens its stitches. I wander through hallucinated gardens where flowers have teeth and gravity forgets my name. I am chasing the horizon with shaking hands. Trying to catch that one bright second where the sky opens and I finally escape.
