I Woke In My Childhood Home

--

Last night I woke in my childhood home.

The room felt like I was there.

A breeze from the ocean.

The light of the night sky.

The shadows on the walls.

The direction of my bed.

I was there for what seemed a half hour, before I realized I was in an in between land . . . A waking dream state.

I felt that that must be what pleasant dementia feels like — to be in a moment of time in the past that had a small pleasantness associated with.

I am sick again. I don’t know if sentiment, allergies, menopause, supplements, weaning.

Just exhausted and unsound and most of all — scared.
