listen.
listen to your pulse thunder through the shield
listen to your life dislodge into fast forward
then see it past you, this pulse that distracts
from the calm that you stoically wrap around your naked being
the paper thin sheen like muscle tissue pulls
at its most tested stretch, the risk of tearing
the risk of
snapping
uncoiling
unraveling
unraveling
unraveling
unraveling.
listen.
listen to the silence, wait for it to deafen you
wait for it to vacuum you inwards
spinning like a hurricane that settles for less than a hum
listen to it as it pulls at your pace
as it lingers around the corner
as it shouts
angry and loud
angry and loud
this silence is angry and loud
when you hear it from the outside
because you are always waiting
waiting for it to pass.
listen.
listen to the waves of reality
crash over you
a tidal free fall where you slip into the undertow.
listen.
but don’t stop moving.
