I don't know who I am anymore
I spill in all directions at once
Crying out in a shrill latticework of wired notes
Wishing to possess something beyond myself
Something beyond my power to imagine
To live among obscured erasures
The unsaid word
The thought uncompleted
The murmur lost
The letters that fly away like small birds
Happy trails to you
"How are you?" she asks
"There's something in the air
That makes everything seem exaggerated," I say
I appear slightly bloated
As if I was allergic to life itself
"I've got a present for you," she says, taking out a compass
"Now you can never get lost"
The two of us stare at it while the needle spins around
and around, before finally coming to rest
"Look," she says, "true north"
