Terrain
February 11/06


I’m fascinated with this fear. I breathe and swallow, track the numbness from my fingertips into the center of my palms. The cold weight that was built somewhere in my stomach has translated itself into a dull case of heartburn. It’s rebelling, the stubborn ass that it is; refusing to be drowned by the rounds of water I’m taking in.

The Climb
Breathe and Swallow
Track the Numbness
Fingertips and Palms

The Plateau
Cold weight Translation
Hot acid Meltdown

The Descent
Now be Still.

So this is what I do when I get overwhelmed.

BUT THANK YOU FOR THE SUPERNICE COMPLIMENTS AND THE FAVOURITE!!!!

it's pressing, it's neat. punches you in the proverbial stomach. *applauds*
