I wait in the quiet not to scatter the voices then snarled in cypress I shift through a hollow of gypsy moths hidden in the moon daze a voice unstilted slithers above What is it like out there, beyond this place? -everyone hunches in the crowd like the rainbow snake the voice makes home around me and moves in the mad underground under me What are you afraid of? -to be quiet in another voice -to run like water

A Conversation With Anxiety
I wait in the quiet not to scatter the voices then snarled in cypress I shift through a hollow of gypsy moths hidden in the moon daze a voice unstilted slithers above What is it like out there, beyond this place? -everyone hunches in the crowd like the rainbow snake the voice makes home around me and moves in the mad underground under me What are you afraid of? -to be quiet in another voice -to run like water
