14. I Blinked

I blinked and all dissolved before my eyes.

What life was this I could have sworn was mine?

So alien its shape, and yet so fine

A dream no sleep of mine could so devise.

I dreamed of “Healers” … “waxen doll” … “the guise” …

The words I heard were fading, line by line.

Was this some vision sent from beings divine?

Am I where someone’s dream goes when it dies?

“I thought that it might jolt you in this way,”

The Fish revealed from deep within my gut,

“A memory extracted from a time

“That you could never know. From what you say,

“It sounds as if it brought you solace.” But

What happened after that? What was the crime?
