space in just a second

click
the lights go out
and for just a moment
time is suspended
i look at the haziness of my room
blackened by night
but not pitch black
it is fuzzy, like an old sweater
but it lingers of space
entire galaxies and constellations
appear before my eyes
i am lifted higher
and with this fleeting peace i feel
i can ignore
the pain on my wrist
my out-of-sorts head
all i feel
is afloat
like anything could happen in the blink of an eye
but it has passed
i am plunged
head first back to earth
no more space
everything comes rushing back
thoughts move like ping pongs in my brain
my hands tremble
as i grasp my neck
choking
the only thing i long for
is to go back to that moment
but it was just a second
