Scaling Walls

Slowly claws at walls of blue

Sinking even though it's as fast as I can move

Lights marble bright above me

Shapes get small, and there's nowhere to land

Watching a film through a pinhole, and it imitates suspense

Through disbelief and relief from consequence

Does it now look different or still like emptiness

That's been lined with all you're inclined to protect?

The haul is long, and I left my brain at home

It's almost dawn, and my feet still hang below
