I see in their reflection a hundred blue lipped hollow eyed refractions of the same moment.
This is it
Here - Now
The moment where timelines converge, forcing the universe to observe itself through me
Here,
Now splayed out lifeless and limp contorted to wrap around the patterns in the carpet whose million fibers reach out to embrace me as if to say
This is ok,
This is only here, now.
I am pulled through the floor into darkness.
I remember to breathe
And I awake.
The irony of spending a lifetime chasing oblivion only to cower in fear when confronted with its most pure form is not lost on me. I am a coward. I was always a coward searching blindly for something that makes sense, only to become lost on the far reaches of the inexplicable. Raging wildly against the mundane, only to to walk this same path that has so many times been trodden.
