liminality

you were driving an old truck
and you had to take a detour
you took the nearest exit
   little did you know
you found me.
 
and so you begin to feel again
broken wings and supernumerary limbs
eyes and portals and shadowy voices
   flickering lights. the silky air.
rose scents, and alluring songs.
 
step into the misty forest clearing, now.
and let the veil come over you.
let your mind shut off
  let astral feelings slowly begin to form
and believe.  
 
as you ascend
remember three things.
   you are not from this world.
   do not let it consume you.
   they are not your friends.
