Poem: March 12, 2024

No One


I run until I am invisible

and free from the tendrils

of the day and the treadmill

and the others who fill this space,

free of my ghostly reflection

that dances like a metronome

on the window, until, until

words are distilled into the thump

against my eardrum, the hip-hop hum,

the rhythm of heart and foot sung,

the lonely drone of breath, and breath,

broken down into the euphoric no one,

the untethered base note tone, 

the glowing glowing, solo, vibrant Ohm,

at one with the only unspoken one. Home.
