I’m feeling
so faded
today.
my dry skin pales
in comparison
to the clammy hands
of yesterday,
boiling over and
shaking in horror.
when I woke up today,
my body felt
so far away.
this spoiled blood
in my veins
should vaccinate
my body against
this quivering pain
but it doesn’t.
I keep telling myself,
“it’s over now,
I’m safe.”
but my heartstrings,
threaded through
the eye of a needle,
play the frantic melody
of a fight song
on a broken fiddle.
like a hero saying,
“I am not okay.”
