Freeze Frame

“That sinking feeling you get when you realize you just screwed up and time freezes for a moment. Like the moment the car door closes and you realize the keys are inside.”


Sinking into that moment,
when the moment takes all.
Time itself blooms bleakly inside.
Planting cold stones in my belly.

 

In my unprepared moments,
no matter how hard I squeeze,
the sky isn’t moving,
so I lack the feeling to feel-
more than the pit that pulls.

 

Swelling like an invisible storm;
it laughs frozen,
as my chest falls-
behind my breath,
taking us out to sea.
