Tensioned

Tensioned (16th May 2008, 8.44am)

Seethe ‘til I bleed
Fingernails draw blood on palms
Shoulders like rock
Spine freezes and seizes
Too much
Ease up
No releases, only teases
Need an opening to get me flowing
Instead of dead-end turns
An open road
Time to burn
The price of calm goes up
Faster than petrol
Bleed ‘til I learn
Re-sheath nails and lick palms
Time to work
