your fingertips
and nails
shift through my skin
cells
putting my hair on
edge
and a lightening bolt
down my spine
till it shoots down
and out
my toes
my mind still pounds
on the wall of my
skull
pressing and pushing
and holding
my words behind my
tongue
while my heart jumps
and thumps
against its small
boney cage
if it continues to
leap
it could break free
or just drop to the
bottom
with only a faint beat
to move on
just continue to run
those nails down my spine
for that's what makes me
feel alive right now
