Anxiety


the roller coaster doesn’t stop 
top of the world til the drop off the face of the earth, no stopping, hard hit, rock botom, sunk

sunlight doesn’t touch
my smile never reaches my eyes

My eyes? Windows to the world? 
not at all. 
never were

jolting, rising, ashes fading
blowing in the wind

deep pit of hollow
washed clean
high. 

breeze tickling
my hair in my face

twinkle. 
streaking across the sky
stars also die

steady
faster
higher
WHIPLASH

rise and fall
rise and fall
take the breath. 
inhale. 
exhale. 
ebb and flow.
