More bits, more pieces. Absorb all the noise you can when you turn the switches on and off the clinking of glasses when the chains of the swing move back and forth when the clock ticks the sound of rain drops beating down I write I dream but don't sleep yet I keep waking up I want to fall asleep without actually falling asleep the chair is empty the posters have fallen down not taken down they were immobile for so long now they move the wall paint has faded the phone refuses to get charged and the fan has decided to spin slower than before. the adamant door doesn't close the cupboards are wide open just like my eyes my fingers hit the keyboard but words aren't born just erased. deleted. the screen stares back at me as I wink the milk tastes so sad with a sad- flavoured slice of bread cheese wants to stay away...
Real and imaginary - art by Luro I was transported to another world to another realm days don't preceed nights here I was there but not fully "there" a piece of me was here but the remaining pieces were elsewhere travelling through the metaphysical space I knew about what "otherworldliness" meant but it sounded too good to be true, or too bad to be false I couldn't decide so I didn't take sides didn't want to. incoherent mutterings tickling my ears My body— still but not all that still Between freezing and melting into nightmares into dreams abounding with hallucinations ethereal but not so ethereal stages of sleep paralysis my supine self was going through shuddering and shuddering involuntary movements had a hold on me I wasn't sure which world I was in the real or the unreal It was hard to differentiate no sense of time or space no sense of "self"...
I saw flashing signs asking me to turn back, to watch my step, to be careful of the road ahead or behind, everywhere I went. I was afraid of moving further but couldn't stop myself from following the glow of the moon as it lead me through the night I was in hot pursuit of my shadow that cut ties with me a long time ago. My shadow knew what it felt like to follow me and I knew what it was like to live under it. Therefore, it decided to run and disappear somewhere. Somewhere I wouldn't be able to find it. And that's how the story went until the ghosts gave me the skinny. Finally, I found it. I found the one I was searching for! My double! My intangible doppelganger! My eager eyes looked and looked at my shadow bathed in incandescent light surrounded by tenebrosity. - Luro
