Waking up from a deep slumber
I checked the time – 9:40
And so I stood up
Stretching my arms and legs
Until I heard the crack from my back
The X mark reads June 26, 2021
Today is the day,
To put an end to this nightmare
I discarded my PJ’s
To the mirror, I stared
The dark circle of shining bags below my eyes
Quickly to the shower, I ran
Leaving with my rain boots and my working clothes
Onto the shores by the river I crept
A grumpy road with a shovel at hand
Ready to dig and dig
To dig up the places I’ve seen
And dreamt of in my dream
Although it sometimes comes
In flickering flashes and annoying trances
Of sparkling revelation and detailed memories
What will I find?
What treasure will it be?
I lifted my face to the moon
The full moon glowing from the night sky
What will I find? Indeed
And so I went, as if in a dream
To the palm tree
That has the moon on its peak
To my knees, I knelt
Spreading my hands bringing up sands
I got the shovel
To the dirt, I poked and poked
Dug and digged
Eureka!
Alas! a little wooden battered box
With a tiny keyhole on its edges
Gladly I grabbed the box and shovel
Off I ran into my house
Staring at the box in silence
And from my neck, I removed the key
The one my father had once given me before he died
Click, it opened
There I found a letter all letter
Dear, you,
For if you find this letter let it be known to you that it’s time to leave for you have gone around in a circle like Sisyphus if you don’t act accordingly there will you go one repeatedly, repeatedly I say I sent this in the year of 1904. You think I am lying let it be known unto you that when you open this letter on a day as this June 26 2021 find the clue, find your way it’s all in the house. You need to get out of there your life isn’t of Sisyphus it is yours.
Dear, you need to realize that you are me get out of that funk you or me.
And so it happened I fainted.
