I was in a state of dysania, but
I could remember everything too well
and it was still vivid down to the
narrow ends of my brain that keeps
on reviving back the memory of
a place you once called haven,
stunned by the clement weather and
was drawn by the cooing of promises.

You brought me to a path that
I've heard of from the people I know
and as they tell me their narratives,
there was pain and trauma radiating
from their faces—I've enjoyed
the scenery you've shown to me, yet
at the end, as I was lying in the bed,
I found myself paddling and rowing
the same boat with them.
