I feel something
Something distant,
like voices muffled behind a wall;
An unhatched egg;
A mosquito buzzing;
An echo inside an ancient rock.
I feel something
outside of l-a-n-g-u-a-g-e
that metaphor obliterates,
Description defies
It sits, tiny, out of reach.
A taunting, tease of a feeling…
Wordless
…and defiant.
I feel something
Closer, urgent
Dancing in my shadow
An eye within an eye
A shiver on my skin
I feel someTHING
Tighten my sinews
Synapse activation
A blossom, a fruit, a tree growing
Sending roots, sap flowing
I feel something…
Surfing my awareness, turning a key
Opening doors
It is feral, it is wild
I am frightened, just a child
Incoherent, without a name
It approaches,
It is gone.
