Inaccessible Memory

The lights are out The lights are out It is the stuff of dreams I've been here before Cascade downhill, slope, tunnel? Someone knows, I know... Because I've been here before I have moved forward KNOWN. The lights are out. The lights are out. judgement impaired .Eyes bathed in Salt. The End

Quite a strong tone to this poem DD with the repetition....almost dreamlike. I like the tension you have caught in the poem although I am not sure of its origen.

It was very mixed this one - the origin was how beautiful the unlit section of the motorway is when driving at night. I find it incredibly calming and a 'known' space in a way I can't describe. But then the lit section returns and I'm back and the stressors I was pondering whilst driving felt a bit close to overwhelming. I mixed it up with much more though but it's the hit of reality contrasting with the safe space where reality still creeps into anyway and the concerns still drift into consciousness...
