It's supposed to be good

[soulfuldarkeyes]

to write things in a state of altered consciousness.

I think my consciousness has been altered

since I set my cheap DALSEV bedframe in that

light-filled studio apartment in Los Angeles,

discovered that a city

I never dreamed would fit

could wind its tendrils

around and through me

and at the same time

encourage the wanderlust

that makes me want to go

to leave

to see

and to return.
