River

Trying to keep my eyes open as visions of colorful fractals dance in my minds eye.

Dreaming but awake in a state of holding on to one last night. Touching toes in the river sleep I try to keep my legs dry.

I feel my body tingle and begin to fade away, darkness engulfs my vision and my body drifts slowly through my mattress into the next dimension. Works of color explode in my mind, it’s almost like I can hear them, touch them, the background sounds like the white noise of a large crowd.

Slowly my eyes close, the river has taken all my legs chest chin and before It hits my nose a quick scream in my ear jolts me awake. No fractals not a sound around me laying my head back down I wonder was that the river trying to let me drown.
