woke up
from a dead slumber
to find myself
buried deep within
the womb of earth
rustic red smell
fill my nostrils
squirming limbless
beatless, breathless
a void, inside a void
wriggling, wrestling
maggots and worms
in the inside of my
sweaty palms
crawled
rocks in pebbles
lost in identity
render me vague
extinct, inexplicably
shoots like stars
tentacles or tendrils
growing up and above
free but trapped
there but unaware
unwelcoming
in their amidst
a dream within a dream
to last as long as they
