Lethe Hypnos- The internal Hell

Lethe Hypnos- The internal hell 

Ethereal topsy turvy
the cosmos opened up
falling falling
reaching for the tree roots

my hand slips
I continue downward
The creatures change in this cave
curious faces to malicious eyes

I reach for the ceiling
In the cave of Hypnos
so quick and into the drink
Into Lethe

Lethe smiles from underneath
thoroughfare for lost souls
Driven along by the flow of her
I gasp struggling to stay on the surface

every curve dragging me under
laughter coming up in bubbles
confusion and exhiliration
dying again and again 

panic and drowning
Until i get washed up on the river bank
I look back at her in the water
It is her she is it

She bewitches me
"potamus, Potamus Potamus..."
Her wet arms reach for me
I scream -Hades let me be free

Back in the drink
Into the intoxicating nightmare
riding the rapids each rock a trauma
Breathless

"let me be"
have I not suffered enough?
Laughter came up in bubbles 
and with it a map

I looked down in shock
the winding river herself
and Hypnos himself
were the landscape of my mind

I had clung to the unjust outside world
ignoring the chaos within me
