Transmutation
there's a sense of inexistence
something tentative, undecided
less ethereal, more under scrutiny
in the wrong place, by halves
I can't check the paperwork
or speak to someone in charge
I see through, but I play along
the knowledge doesn't change the construct
I'm here, going through the motions
but I disappear in dreams
am gently held and reassured in beauty
I've changed, conscious difference is a key
I'm stillness and calm
encasing chaotic questioning
I see more clearly more often
the people, the places
make more sense
my eyes will open
and I'll take my first real breath
when the time is right
