vanishing shadow

last night, around 4 in the morning

I reached down to my feet

something was there that made me want to reach down

it started as a feeling in the shadow

as though something I lost was calling out to me

when I touched it I realized it was a hand

which reached out to take mine

in a firm grip without weight

I pulled it up but I could only see the hand

beyond that only shadow and darkness

I pulled the hand close to me

and found myself lying down

a whirlwind of blue and black unfolded

a shape and a shadow

connected to the hand

dissipated
