Microdosing

An Ode to Microdosing

A colony stirs
ten thousand neural pathways
emerging from winter’s grip

Deep in the nest’s core,
warmth spreads like spilled honey,
each synapse flickering awake

First one,
then dozens,
then waves of electric whispers
pulsing through corridors
of consciousness,
until the entire network
quickens with
the first stirring
of a forgotten vibrance in the world
at large
