In Here

In here,

a phoenix flies

barrel rolls

and

nose dives

.

In here,

squirrels chase

one another

through trees

.

It is sunkissed ventures,

coral baked

flamingoes.

.

It is lush with tulips

held together with

jellyfish dreams.

.

Until

.

In here,

it is trapped doors

and tripwire

.

narrowing halls

and pools

without bottoms.

.

Tear gassed

illusions of fights

never had.

.

Won't

have.

.

It gets

upside down,

inside out

in here.

.

Dark

and

damp

.

In here,

I am

swallowed up

.

hole

.

spat out

whiplashed

to ash.

.

Like the cat

with 9

times to

.

Rise

.

again.

.

reborn

with a

spank

.

Into a big

bang,

in here.

.

In here,

I am

becoming.
