Light. Colour. Sound. A rhythmic riot of clear-cut radiant rhombi Reinstated in a flash, A feeling of elation, relief ... A sense of lightness ... The out-of-the-body experience Of a woman partially drowned.
Clarity ruled again. Clarity. Coherence. Recognition. Clarity overruled by colour. Translucent and baptismal, It overflooded and bloodied Her abysmal awareness, An apostate limbo of overlapping planes On which she sought a moment's absolution, A deluge of iridescent waves breaking, Reflecting the lingering afterglow Of this fulminant encroachment.
The world had exploded, Dragging her down ... And there she was treading water, A thousand million lives Running out to embrace the grace Of a single moment, Superimposed and stranded On this rusty gridiron of eternity Spiralling downwards Where she knew she was not alone.
