Poem – Suspended (By Austin Alexis)

I pushed through a revolving door

and stepped

into a dimension new to me,

a realm without gravity’s pull–

absent the physical.

For a few seconds, the cosmos

adopted me, dissolved my skin,

made me one with it,

poured itself into me.

I pushed through a revolving door

and instantly there was no floor.

The me I used to know was gone,

consumed in a transcendent storm.
