“Rising from the past, my shadow is running in silence to meet me” – Anna Akhmatova
I lost myself
Travelling inwards
On that journey
Age prescribes
Now I’m older
I pack a lot lighter
Then my younger self
Knew how
The tunnel hums
A hollow tune
Calling
and keeping time
Within its yellow vortex
A portal revealed itself
Nothing was lost
Just quiet for a little while
