Becoming The Dream

January 27, 2023

Today

I unlocked

a new window

One

I had never

opened before

Air

rushing in

calling me back

Voices

familiar

yet foreign to name

And

as I passed through

that new window

Leaving

behind

what used to be me

Losing

my shadow

to futures long past

Reaching

for something

—becoming the dream

(Dreamsleep: January, 2023)
