He opens his eyes
Without optical counterpart...

Light yawns in the womb of dawn,
spritzing the earth's skin with sticky citrus...

The world swallows its short-term memory,
holding a breath in its weary chest...

The air was flawed with soul-dirtied junction
Unfamiliar trees whose branches malfunction...

`
reflective sclera expose stories...

Collapsible;
A stage with...

Night swallows me whole, down its long, sequined...
Nearly extinguishing all other light but that...

Days rise and billow over our heads, blanketing us...
Sunrise reflects our redemption across these waves...

I am buoyancy bottled,
Folded and swallowed...

Alternate universes twitch through my body
Quickly switching place with lesser reality...

Tread softly,
Tread carefully...
