walking
I thought
Felt
I was walking
I was
Moving
Standing
Legs together
Feeling the viscous air layers laminate
around
over me
turning left
then right
Flicking images
Of streets
Of Suburban mediocrity
Floated
Smoothly
Silently
By
Looking down
I moved my left
And then my right foot
Forward back
anxious
I looked up
Around
Alarmed
as my speed increased
with every movement
like an obelisk of fright
Standing
In disbelief
Head turning
Now in panic
As I could not grasp
The
Continuing
Silent
floating
movement
Dazed disorientated
As animated
Familiar
suburban
houses
moved
shimmered by
people
walking
gardening
washing the car
oblivious
a dog
goggle eyed
in an instant
rigidly aware
tracking
my passage
with a slow
disbelieving
turn of the head
suddenly
rippled into frightened flight
a wry smile
a strangled laugh
as the absurdity
of these fleeting moments
amused
distracted me
tentatively
arms slowly
gingerly
extending
into a flying
stricken crucifixion
dragging
slashing scrubs
scattering
chattering leaves
forever accelerating
the glow
of exhilaration
eclipsing my face
suddenly playful
As a smile
Widened
As delight walked across my face
suddenly
Laughing out loud
Stunned incomprehension
slid into amused disbelief
wonder
Uninhibited joy
fearlessly
Wildly
breast stroking
Turning
Back stroking
Ever escalating the acceleration
I
Dropped to my feet
Head down
Watching as my feet
Hovering
Oblivious to sound
Lashed by the long grass
A blurred field
stung
Clutching my knees
In
Total Incomprehension
What is this?
escalating fear
crippled consciousness
sensations of a gathering speed
Eyes shut
exhaling
letting go
Lying down
Completely horizontal
Eyes bounce open
skies
clouds rolling over me
flickering sunlight
forever silent
forever faster
I sped
forward
Eyes watering
Clothes rhythmically flapping
Flogging me
with the escalating speed
head turned
Suddenly aware
Of my shadow undulating over the ground
chasing me into
green wheat fields
leaving a bowed wake
as the wheat husks
sway
in disbelief
Stunned
Laying immobile
rigid
fear
Watching the sky gather pace
Enveloping panic
Head turning
A path flicked by
A road
Thrashing
Gliding
Effortlessly
At speed
under a truck
The blink of shadow crossed my face
Launching me
into cascading blurred metal projectiles
as gathering pace
I woosh
glide
between cars
startled into panic
pumping arms
deflecting
bouncing
ricocheting
thumping between cars
suddenly audible
the assault of sound
screeching tyres
piercing acrid
burning rubber clouds
collectively awake
startled looks
tracking heads
screams
shouts
you are going the wrong way
in rigid panic
hands
grabbing thighs
head locked to the skies
eyes closed
springing open
startled
as instinctively aware
I plunge
into a cool
trashing
green gauntlet of flickering
springing
whipping branches
ferns reddening tearing
flaying flesh
ripping
shredding clothes into a swirling
whirling ticker tape vapour trail
spat
launched
into blinding sunlight
at eye watering speed
clothing strips
flogging me with increasing rapidity
chattering against the wind
as I stream over green manicured lawn
blood running
driven horizontal by the rushing air
flick path
flick beach
raising
sucking sand in my tumbled
turbulent wake
gathered people
frozen in disbelief
break free
sprinting
shouting
screaming
running in pursuit
lunging
clawing
falling away
as the sandy whirlwind ribbon of my trajectory
hurls me towards the sea
fleshy cheeks
wobble gyrate
buffeted by my velocity
shaking
pounded feet
crashing waves
skimming peaks
showering cool stray
stinging salt
driving rapid blinking eyes
strobing visions of an endless curved emerald horizon beyond my feet
toes
rigid dripping
thumping
thud thud thud thud
rhythmically
crushing wavering caps
plumes in my undulating wake
pointing
skipping towards the horizon
hair sodden streaming in flight
head tilted
rocketing
curling into a towering wave
a thundering shot
in a blast
a fanfare of atomised spray
catapulted
skyward
beyond sound
gripping tighter
head gyrating
left
right
looking down
at the disappearing
cloud washed sea
ears pop
as I am launched
into a failing sun
chasing a rising moon
Freezing air
laminating over my naked reddened body
heart palpitating
hyperventilating in increasing panic
grasping air
rolling head
swooning
as light
falls away
in this starry unfolding
I slide effortlessly
into cosmic silence
timeless
beyond the troposphere
leveling
drifting
towards the thermosphere
the last warmth
caressing my side
slowly
apprehensively
blinking eyes
aware of my floating body
adrift
beyond the exosphere
the last window to the universe
the gravity of silence
naked
alone
suspended
weightless
innocent in a leaden silence
my last breath
a final exhortation
a sigh
as I slide into a deep peace
Born again to the beauty
The wonder of it all
