The floor forgot its name tonight. Feet dissolve into the tile. Ceiling stretches. Miles away. The lamp is hum-hum-humming. Static in the veins. I think my shadow left the room. Good for him. Window open. Curtains high. Heavy air. No goodbye. Unfastened. Unpinned. Lean into the wind. Pulling the horizon up! Tearing through the velvet dark! Let the friction burn it out! Beautiful mistake. The clock is ticking backwards now. Hands are water. Glass is bending. Can’t find the emergency brake. Don’t want to. Neon signs blur into halos. Floating upward. Sinking down. Same thing. Window open. Curtains high. Heavy air. No goodbye. Unfastened. Unpinned. Lean into the wind. Pulling the horizon up! Tearing through the velvet dark! Let the friction burn it out! Beautiful mistake. No weight. No walls. Just the code. It unties itself. I’m not asleep. I’m just... everywhere. Sky shifting. Concrete soft. Deep breath. Still... Falling... Happy.
