Questionable Reality
Madness is kneeling at my door.
Fearing to get out of bed
reluctant to leave my island
uncertain if the floor exists
or what is that sea of intangible darkness.
The world has stretched out of all dimensions.
Stumbling down Escher stairs with fever on my breath
spicy, hot, prickly, tongue,
the truth is splitting at the seams,
I don't remember getting lost
but here I find myself abandoned.
Distraught with no connections to why
something is out of sorts, I can't recall what that means.
Strong wind voice of reason sweeps me up in a calm draft
the words sound like all is well
and madness fades as shadow before light.
My besieged sanity finds gradual serenity
my tongue remembers what it has swallowed
I know why I am here!
The rough alchemy has run its course.
