what happened to us?
was it a thing done,
or were we the ones who did it;
and
how did we get here?
did we bring ourselves,
or were we brought?

when did we lose sight
of our great and steady horizon?
was it the storm or the blinding sun
that pulled our eyes away,
but for a moment,
only to find it had vanished
when we turned back?

where do we go now?
the compass points have vanished
and we have lost our gravity.

i smell rain as an ocean
waiting to fall in the desert,
and it will wash us all away
leaving only the question –

what happenned to us?
