The Inverted City

Two people.
 

The upside down city, their playground

A world that dazzles beneath their feet

Wandering souls

Two minds stuck in time 

Drifting aimless

Unexpected

They meet.

Enthralled with the chaos of street lights

A mess of buildings, crafted from glass

They shatter the world with their presence 

And watch as the structures collapse

Concrete crumbles to the ground around them 

A peaceful whirlwind of dust and debris 

The inverted city of silence,

Of Stillness

Calmness

And Ease. 

F i n a l l y, she believes 

Swimming upwards from darkness 

Towards freedom 

Breaking the surface and gasping for air

Greeted by a galaxy of twinkling lights

From the upside down city

Stripped bare. 

A chaotic mind on fire 

In a fountain that douses the flames 

The amphibian-of-ambivalence dances in bliss

Finally, 

Free from her chains. 

The city flips and it spins 

And with it they danced 

Entranced by the outlines left behind 

Surrounded by sonder on park

Enchanted

Two souls

Now, entwined.
