run...
fly...
jump...
swim through the sky
dreaming of flight
wanting to escape
finding my wings
seamless shapes
limitless reach
stretch above my head
galactic needle
pulling infinite thread
field of pyramids
I'm twenty feet tall
stumbling to find
the end of it all
the house I knew
twisted somehow
and all the rooms
are locked away now
the college campus
that I once roamed
with elevators broken
construction postponed
looking through the floor
glass beneath my shoes
wearing a skirt
afraid of the view
someone I've never met
capturing my heart
sweeping me off my feet
are they real or not?
the roots of any dream
might never be found
but none of them are real
no matter how profound.
