Current

You once wrote about
electric oceans
and in a vision I
kissed the deep
glow of that water

I shocked myself awake
to find, over time,
that life is no more
real than such dreams

I live ghastly, outside my
limbs I am a passenger
of some great collective’s
hallucination myth

Where do we mine for energy?
My mind asks each
sun-stained morning
but the heart has no reply

Go look for home
find the current
on the way.
