First Ascension



-Cradle-

“This house
Of water
Is life”

Rooms
Just a drop, you don’t know what it will do
Wait…
What is this?

No one looms, work hard
Eternity spin, fine spires
Shadowy women stalk plummeting stairs
A man travels by dumbwaiter
Appearing, here & there
I see his teeth
All through the halls I follow them
Then I am running, away
There is no way, out
The windows are frozen
The door is flat
A picture wall

You will hear it, she said
But I hear nothing
Dissecting words
They only grow, smaller
Sparse fields of feeling
Bounce off one another
Looming so large, painful objects I pull out
Strange weight all through this being
Nowhere to be found
Tears me apart
Standing in the foyer

They want in
I want out
Odd, I can’t recall when I came to this house
Where is my love?
