now is human
once and then pour nature's fierce magical energy through my veins

once
I squinted blissfully at the brilliant starlit surroundings
yesterday
I danced, ceiling-bound, with the light-addicted moths

now
I tied my shoelaces together to hop around ice floes
now

I feel the daydream become miracle-tainted reality
tomorrow
I dive upwards to the pure afterlife imagination
then

now is strong enough to ground me in icy depths i can't shatter and scramble from
i wait for tomorrow
