In case I’ve said the wrong thing
just in case
my adrenaline will peak
and crest
and fizz.
In anticipation
of past consequences
from a partner
of long ago.
One that, seemingly,
my trained response
remembers.
Just noticing, getting there.
Apparently it’s normal to feel embarrassed to have #traumaresponse
