After The Fact

Was I sleeping, earlier?
The day seems somehow diff'rent
Than how it was before.

I feel back to normalcy,
At least normal in the sense
Of what I was before.

      But normal?
      What is normal?

I will never be the same -
I think as I look backwards
To how I was before.

What is to become of me?
Brand new person, now set free?
What was I, then, before?

      A dead man?
      No.  A deaf man?

The ground was up above me,
The clouds around me swirling.
"This was my home, before".

Comfort was where I called home.
Comfort is gone, but at least
Someone has gone before.
