Amalgamation and changing. I saw it there. Fluctuations before my very eyes. I have known becomings like this to happen over
night, shifts of personhood. One becoming many. I have only ever witnessed the aftermath before. Now I stand before it. It w-
ants to pull me in, I feel its grasping. Skin like sheets, imprints of hands reaching out. I want to tear them down and fold
them up and put them away, but I stand there frozen. More like a hovering-- whole body buzzing. Ears begging to explode from
sensitivities to the vibrations; all over me; inching me ever so slowly closer-- closer to that Something. Like a cocoon bef-
ore me. With shapes I cannot comprehend embedded within. Around me the air grips tightly, like this world knows better for
me; trying hard to pull me away. But Body knows my place better than I. There awakens a primal instinct within me, Animal cl-
awing at the seams; begging me to burst! Animal's rabid tongue salivating, dripping, at the thought of our becoming. All kno-
ws what I do not. So I let my mind drop off completely. No more words left to fill me, but images float to the surface before
blurring away: Doors without connections, Hallways ever stretching, Crossroads with no street signs, that Lamppost that beaco-
ns every night. I get lost there, my eyes no longer see outside of me; rolled back and internal. I forget my fate completely.
But Body feels the impact, as if being swallowed whole. I become nothing but heartbeat and warmth. I know a womb when I feel
one. This sudden wash of safety, I can finally let go. All wires severed. Shut down completely. Waiting for new birth.
"take me back," you say.
