Up here

Up here, I am in a rarefied zone, leaving behind the penury, subjugation, humiliation and discomfort. My feet almost not there, give way to wings and the push is provided by gods I worship.

“We are your bosses here, not your damned conscience – you sold it to us anyway….”

My feet long to touch the ground – this can’t be heaven and these polished masks can’t be God.

I know why souls leave behind bodies to fly, and death is romanticised. Being pulled back by gravitational forces in the stratosphere is a very unnatural state of being – one has to play by the rules, or fall with a thud.

  1. are you sure, that its a dream?

    lol
    by definition, a dream can create anything in the world of the real, so maybe the true deficiencies are with the concrete manifestations rather than the part that does not require gravity.

    loved the line, “…this can’t be heaven and these polished masks can’t be God.

  2. First of all I love the word “rarefied,” secondly, I agree with Lisa, it sounds like a dream. I went in that direction, only daydream as in zoning out. Good six.
