Shimmer

It all comes back to me

Surprising me in that familiar way

Like that old Linkin Park song

The sounds of yesteryear


To this day, I remember every word

Shimmering in the dark

Lighting the way for me

A tool I used in my youth


I remember everything now

As if no time had passed

I'm back in that place

Word by word, piece by piece


I toil away at my desk

Waiting for my inevitable death

I felt it in my skin

But it never came
