A Pinch, A Clank

Her mind was messy
or dirty or pigeon-holed
the look on her face
blank,
fearless.

Everything became blurry,
Twisted
Uncomfortable, fragile, expected
Her palms sweaty now
Heart crinkling,
Exploding.

She closed her eyes
not to go elsewhere,
to take it in more slowly
to control it, focus.

There was a pinch, a clank
A release, a weight
A choice, more choice
The choice, silence.
