Into the maelstrom, all without seeing,
Not even realising it was there,
Until there dawned that vast awakening,
A new landscape full fraught with huge despair...
Then
brief-snatched recollections of the fall,
The oily-sided funnel of that sea,
To find not Death nor anything at all,
No explanation how this came to be.
Some
strange new Universe not ever found,
Before this moment understanding here,
Seeming familiarity around,
Whose falseness brings a rising sense of fear.
A violent
reassertion of the norm?
Or had I in some subtle way transformed?
