    nervous

     <>


    self portrait said nervous crisis
    as i slam my eyes shut
    while already sitting in the dark 

    with even thicker thoughts
    i rub my hands and bump fists
    with my demon dreams

    screaming never felt so loud 
    but silent as i stretch my mouth     
                  south
    straight down to the bottom
    of this burning belly

    the smoke disguises the rain
    but never removes the pain
    in my late show of unfun

    i only meant to make you smile
    but, not quite like mine

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
