I emerge in the above or the below, The endless flow of nothing, I dance in the nothing, No eyes see my carelessly careful movements, My mind moves but like a paralysed dancer, The roar has shushed. Shadows linger in my mind, Implants of what was before, Yet my mind can't feel their bruises, What once was screaming has now been shushed. My fingers rattle and shake, I feel like nothing, Everything and nothing, I lie down but tiredness doesn't pull me down, I go up up up. The colours race before me, Swirling together into a dazzle of bending beauty, My arms reach forward but I don't touch, I watch and no time moves. Flickering my eyes searching but no danger exists, Shhhhhhh, It's not silent just quiet.

The Before or The After
I emerge in the above or the below, The endless flow of nothing, I dance in the nothing, No eyes see my carelessly careful movements, My mind moves but like a paralysed dancer, The roar has shushed. Shadows linger in my mind, Implants of what was before, Yet my mind can't feel their bruises, What once was screaming has now been shushed. My fingers rattle and shake, I feel like nothing, Everything and nothing, I lie down but tiredness doesn't pull me down, I go up up up. The colours race before me, Swirling together into a dazzle of bending beauty, My arms reach forward but I don't touch, I watch and no time moves. Flickering my eyes searching but no danger exists, Shhhhhhh, It's not silent just quiet.
