I lie awake
My body still
Paralyzed from neck down
I am my own shadow
Whispers spurned
You are reflection
Paralyzed from the neck on down
I am my fractures
But despite my lack of mobility
I now feel complete
There is peace in the serenity of a constricting fate
You can exceed your limitations sitting in place
No recognizance for this setting I dwell in
Oh well, the air has never felt better than way up here
Now I look myself straight in the eye.
The sun dances slowly in the sky.
I am reflection
