Go Outside

 

Go outside 

And let your mind unfurl

And spread out to fill the sky

Watch

As the houses tumble and 

Slowly

Spin around you

Unlocking themselves from 

One another

Folding into new, impossible shapes

Smell the burning afterglow

Alive and rising as the shadows grow

Watch the stars reveal themselves

One.

Another.

More.

Growing in confidence

The ground is chewy under the soles of your bare feet

And there is the slow, rising hymn

Of all the night, 

Gentle at first

Then rushing in like pins and needles

Like blood

Like silence
