double


i saw you following me
through the field
strewn with red & gold leaves
to the base of that frozen mountain
in the corner of my eyes
at every switchback


i wouldn't say it then but i was scared
the blood rushing to my brain told me to run
every version i've known
of myself returned
with blurred vision


i saw you following me
through the dark hallway

when i was young

passed my doorway
and just stopped
without much shape or response


now this blood in my veins
still pumps
and i'm still scared
I didn't find you with a map
