  • Lucidity came slowly
    I awoke from dreams of untying a great knot
    It unraveled like a braid
    Into what seemed were
    Thousands of separate strands of fishing line
    Attached to coarse behavior it flowed
    A calm it urged, what else is here?

    How's it feel to be at the center of magic
    To linger in tones and words?
    I opened the floodgates
    And found no water, no current, no river, no rush
    How's it feel to stand at the height of your powers
    To captivate every heart?
    Projecting your visions to strangers who feel it
    Who listen, who linger on every word
    Oh, it's a rush
    Oh, it's a rush

    But alone it feels like dying
    All alone I feel so much

    I want my offering to woo, to calm, to clear, to solve
    But the only offering that comes
    It calls, it screams, there's nothing here

    How's it feel to be at the center of magic
    To linger in tones and words?
    I opened the floodgates
    And found no water, no current, no river, no rush
    How's it feel to stand at the height of your powers
    To captivate every heart?
    Projecting your visions to strangers who feel it
    Who listen, who linger on every word
    Oh, it's a rush
    Oh, it's a rush Writer/s: Michelle Chongmi Zauner
