outrun
the drop comes
shouting memory
splint me
broken
Tag: nervous system
My insides
hotwired for pressure.
He, kettle set to steam.
Steeping we.
Tear in my throat
mind set to silent-mode
heart catching
and
catching
on scar tissue
My throat locking
lips too heavy to move
Eyes squinting, heart beating against bone
the air too quiet
kindness felt violent
panic overcorrecting
