Free Floating Dread

Primal techniques
For the next 5 minutes
What shape is it?
Where is it in my body?

Fighting the urge to flee
Turning to distractions
Shining pebbles
Cast into my pond

Standing firm
Is a brittle exercise
Flexibility generates
More intimate collisions

I forget that the rules
Are only for a game
I wanted to play
Now turned deadly serious

Shaken by these watery winds
Smelling of blood and urine
I find I am more buoyant
Than this free floating dread

Just Now
