Rabbit Hole by Elif Sude Yorgancılar

 Rabbit Hole

A cool breeze on my back, 

sweat upon my chest.

Too many thoughts for such a fleeting moment,

yet my mind refuses to rest.


The birds keep chirping

The sky wears a pale blue.

Everything else lies perfectly still, 

yet my mind keeps wandering.


I watch the leaves sway away without hesitation.

They never ask the wind where it is taking them.


Perhaps that's the way I should be going,

like the leaves, 

blown by the wind,

without asking where it will take me.

The window on the door was a neat addition though; I could see the dread spread across the faces on the outside. Such an emotion couldn’t be caught inhabiting my face though. I knew what I was getting into and I didn’t care. Apathy was an old friend of mine, we’d gotten to know each other well over the last few years, However, excitement snuck its way into my body as I heard the machine charge up.      When they asked if I had a particular date and location I wanted to go back to, I gave my answer instantly. You see, I never drank. Never smoked. Never huffed. Never puffed. Never pricked my skin. No, my drug was nostalgia. I missed being a kid, when holidays still felt special. I missed high school and playing football with my buddies. I t...
