listen hereFirst of all,
the ground vibrated
Then there was a second wave,
more intense
Pictures fell from the wall
This wave persisted,
getting steadily stronger
The cutlery in the kitchen drawer rattled,
a crack appeared in the ceiling
After approximately six minutes
I crouched under the table with my hands on my ears
The vibration kept on going,
plagues of plaster piled up on the carpet
It was a new carpet…
The lights went out
After eighteen minutes,
the first wall collapsed - I was not injured
I decided to crawl through the debris to get outside
There was nothing outside
A fragment
detached from time and space,
forgotten,
rejected
This unchained night bird,
hungry for souls
but finding none
Memory blacked out on both sides,
but still something's there
Something lurking,
flashing
A face desperate for a name,
but finding none
Always on the point of recognition,
hovering above an answer,
but not finding any
Thirsty for contact,
finding none
Weightless,
directionless,
a vacuum,
with all senses functioning,
acute in its pain
No space that goes on forever,
no time that goes on forever,
removed,
abandoned
Nothing that goes on forever,
removed,
abandoned
Were you ever there?
- legendary pink dots
