i could feel pulses of energy
emanating from the blue light …

tutoring my being …

coercing measure for measure
my breath and beat for beat my heart …

a corporeal bypass
keeping kilter of my anatomy
against the siege of my endocrine system …

preventing me from going into shock …

which was very important …

if i went into shock my
telepathic sense would shut down …

i knew that …

i knew that in the same astonishing way,
that i knew where i was, who these people were,
what the blue lights did and what was about to happen next …
