I feel it.
The urgency.
A pressure building
A faucet left on,
dripping into a sink where the dishrag has fallen inside,
clogging the drain.
It slowly fills.
Overtime the water will crest the sink’s edge,
the surface tension holding it for seconds then allowing contents to start spilling upon the floor.
I feel it.
My mind racing.
Thinking of nothing
A specific thing
Unspeakable things
That claw at the corners
Of my eyes and make the mucous membranes there more susceptible,
Permeable to the leak.
I feel it.
The knowledge
Of the need
To allow things to be felt
All over again
But this time,
The waves will crash
And the drip has filled the sink
And holding on to the clawing creatures while life happens won’t be possible.
I feel it.
Even now as I type
Their fingernails rub against my cornea
With thoughts of
the small child inside
crumpled on the pavement
the weight of the world suddenly crashing upon her
as she lays helpless,
unable to move for the weight of it,
watching her closest family breathe their last breath
And she struggles for her next.
Hugs. Hang in there.
