merge

i am not afraid / the words are cryptograms / i am just a little scared / the words float / in a pool of ether / but i'm warm; / time is a boomerang / we may throw ourselves / forward / and the faster we go / the faster we / return / everyone's got a voice / sometimes they are like babble / sometimes they wash me / away in perfect u-shaped waves / and sometimes i listen / to whisperings growing / louder and more eloquent / as a hand pointing ahead / that i cannot see but know is there / and though everything / tosses and turns / someday everything will / merge / into a whole / like fossils in a stone / although now is for alone / we are more than flesh and bone.
