anxiety held in
the stomach
the hips
my jaw
it hurts but
it moves like t.v. static
crackling like wood in fire
crawling like larvae
breathe in and out
making the mind clear and empty
but the cracking of my jaw
echoes in the quiet room

it hurts but
it moves like t.v. static
crackling like wood in fire
crawling like larvae
breathe in and out
making the mind clear and empty
but the cracking of my jaw
echoes in the quiet room
