i was never really human

I think

I was never really human

to being with.

I am

a phantom limb,

only loosely connected

to my body,

to reality.

I dream

of becoming

untethered.

I wonder

what would become

of me,

if you could say

my flesh, my face

was actually me

all along,

or if

the human part

vanished

a long, long

time ago.
