Stressful Tuesday 

I elevate my head to make sure blood is gathering there

And I see

Whirlpool

Stormcloud

Frightening visages that should have left

In the haze of childhood

But these are rotting days

And we don’t do the math anymore

Pericles

Penumbra 

And when you alleviate 

The tension in your muscles 

The whole body goes slack

Forever
