After a day of distracting myself,
it’s a delicate process
to get back to the truth points
now folded under what I pulled up
spending way too long
with my old journals,
and the wordless hum of daily tasks,
but I will find them

This morning I woke up
luxuriously relaxed
from dreams of flying
and filling with sound

And I see that I was still me
back in those old journaled days
just as I was me
in those free flights.
