Auditory

There are a million sounds in a day

They peel the layers back and grate at

My buttery tissues

And tensed plexuses

I’m always tasting the air like a snake

Curling into a tight, head-tucked, question mark

Why is the world so pressing?

So urgent that it can’t leave me any

Air

Or

Space

It has to break the skin

And get in

Get in
