you know it when it is coming
that strange feeling
in the throat
in the back
in the heart
in the stomach
in the womb
covering every inch
of my clarity
sobriety and
strength
Breathing
growing
invading
every tissue and every molecule
spreading like a virus
dripping like blood
rising like sun
slowly but steadily
it is coming
that strange feeling
you know it darling,
it is the same feeling
taking your mind
taking your heart
taking your reason
taking your emotions
you wait
to breath
in and out
again
breath in and out
one last time
as
droplets of sweat
trickle on the spine
and the flooding of lights
blind you for a while
one moment
you begin to see in the pitch dark
it is the same strange feeling
