flight/fight

these cosas snaking
inside me–
sprint like frothed animals through my
veinscellsnervesmusclesinsidesoutsides
palpitate,
pulsated,
pump,
pushed.

i shook and i shook.

my limbs astringent,
they throb like the jacitate
of a weathered bull elephant:
cinereal and marred out on the plains.

silent muscles, immersed over the mid morning
stillrain, calm like a frozen steppe when i heard her.

i slept.
