(De)realization
a poem about a sense of unreality
Catch myself staring but it’s never at you.
My body rests here while my mind traverses.
Planted feet on the ground, hoping for a breakthrough.
Instead, I’ve made contact with remnants of fallen universes.
I feel my fishnet mind expanding.
The line fraying, to welcome, opening a door
To a world beyond mundane physical understanding.
My spirit detaches and falls—slips—drops through the floor.
Can’t comprehend what happens when I visit these places.
Although, I never return empty handed.
Some inkling remains, a feeling imperceptible by our five senses.
Yet somehow, I know that all of it is connected.
