the scene is a citadel, matrix style. i crouch graCefully on top of a concrete tRee with shiny mirrored leaves observing miniature giaNts down below. they aLL seem to know wHere to go. this is a dreaM but it couLd have been a movie if it waSn't so surreal. the phone rings. pieRcing thick white silence. the white rabbit runs. oLd mother speaks. of winged insects sCreaming in pain. & time sLiPping through. fingers grab my feaR & shaKe. her wrinkles fall into my ears like piNk lipstick smears. it's time to shed thiS skin. if i could just shrug off the fairy riding me like a wiLd mustang, kick off iMaginary stripper shoes…panic rises in my throat. i could aLways floaT. but soMe days i can't fiNd the ground. & there's nowhere leFt to hide. croSs my legs. cLose my eyes. breathe. breatHe. i become a floWer. viRginal & caLm. i float above the furry caR parked inside my souL. buildings fade. roads evaporate. the wind catches my hair miDflight. i land on clouds of miNt green. "breathe" she whiSpers softly, then disappears
