Fix
A heartbeat is all it takes
to turn on the lights.

I’m grounded but unable to be steady.
Up. Down. Up. Down.

I’m curving the world around me.
I’m as dense as I’ll ever be.

I can't open the doors.
I'm in a foggy mist of hallucinations.

I’m caught up in the clouds.
But the ground is above me.

My heart keeps beating.
But the lights are always off.
