self from self

Can I transcend the bounds of who I am?
When the lump in your throat
Prevents swallowing
Constricts air
Eliminates voice
Can I detach myself from self
a leaf’s descent
float into the existence of asleepness
When the toes below you no longer tap
Your eyes weighed down by your cheeks below
An impenetrable self
Unphased by the sun
Or the phases of the moon
Or…
