 <\/p>\n

\u00a0One night<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0I dreamt of a void\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

When touched, dark blue ripples\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

ricocheted outward\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

pulsating on my fingertips.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Flat, alive, and just wide enough<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

For me to step through.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Opaque ground\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Sprawled out\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Blanketed\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

A Blue forest.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

I stepped\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Around ocotillos\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Weaved through\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Joshua Trees\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

And listened\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

To the buzzing of bees.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Forest fades\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

And buzzes turn into voices\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Singing of freedom\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

From fear\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Their hope\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Echoing and elaborating\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

In variations\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

The cries of their loved ones<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Dead\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Sounds a monody.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the void\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

I find myself\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

In a battle royale with my thoughts\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Wondering\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

When it would be best\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

To emerge<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
