Firmament

Firmament (noun)- the vault or arch of the sky : heavens

It's early in the morning. He sits in a shallow clearing of tall grass some distance away from the back porch. Everyone is inside but he sits in the dew and takes clumps of wet grass to his face, roots and dirt and all. The shrooms he ingested are fully awake in his gut. He is supine and looking up at the flat firmament filled with green neon gas bubbling as if a cauldron of toxic waste is lodged between this world and one beyond, wondering how it would feel to drown.
