I Saw It All Around Me

One foot in front of the other, mind elsewhere, gaze lowered. A wander through subdued air. Forms, colours, textures passing. Thoughts loop on what could have been, what should have been. Moving, aimlessly, toward something that only seems like an end. Something shifts, quietly, imperceptibly. Fragments that had been rooting themselves under the skin begin, one by one, to speak.

Memories live here, arriving unannounced, folding themselves into the present. Surfaces remember touch, pavements carry the weight of other footsteps. Thoughts hum with the residue of past conversations, now grasped anew. Somewhere between stillness and change, the edges blur, self becomes steady, light becomes form. All things seem to breathe together.
