Ambivalence


It washes over me


Violently


I read and watch


And gaze outside


Impaired


I break down


In little puzzle pieces


On the river


Im caught and cradled


Somewhere


I leave the outline of my body


In the bed I lay


The weight of your body


Is still imprinted in the bedsheets


I have dreams


When I wake up


Images flash by


I go to sleep to live again


Spaces


I inhabit overlap


People i kissed


Blurred into one


No gender


Or hair color, or smile, or smell


Can't distinguish


They're all one extending in me


I try to run and dance away


The fear of the unknown


Distorted


All around is playing tricks on me


Im a bundle of what is and what can not be


Sheltered by the promise of reality


Scared to wake up


Resurface and have to gasp for air.
