we are not survivors

survivors have escaped something dangerous

something lethal

something that lives only in the past

it is over

you can go home

~

for us it is never over

it lives in the white noise of consciousness

in dreams too strange to relate or explain

a key has turned

a door unlocked

we have seen what is inside

a thing so vast and timeless

that it has neither form nor void

dimly apprehended but calling to us

~

we have not survived this

it is our journey
