The sea. From the music to the sea. What an interesting switch. Oh well. Not as if I don't enjoy it. But then, the distance. Out in the sea. What's that floating in the water? Oh, Neptune's only daughter. Branches breaking. The hiss of wind blown sand. I glance behind me, only to discover a myriad of prodigious trees. Palm, Spruce, Pine, Cedar, Beachwood, Willow, and Rose. And then there's you again. Running into the mixed forest.
I spring up. Dash to the edge of the forest. And there I find a sign. Scribbled? Scrambled. Splattered. Reads "If you go there, you're gone forever. If I go there, I lose my way. If we stay here, we're not together. Anywhere is nowhere."
Don't know what to make of this. I look at the ocean. Where is Neptune's only daughter? She has vanished. I look back at the forest. Hiss of sand blown wind. Thump. Thump. Thump. The trees lay down. A sand path materializes, following you. Wham. Whump. Whoomph. Behind me. The ocean is boxing up, shrinking into a compact box. Whamph. Lid closed. There's Neptune's daughter. A black void behind her. Snatches the box, and vanishes into the void, taking the sky with her. All that remains is the forest.
I don't know where I am anymore.
And then I spy you, dashing in between the trees. Looking everywhichway. But dashing, nonetheless. "Wait!" I call. Fleeting human contact, I think. I am lost. You are lost. But for a moment, we were lost together.
I wonder who you are.
