clammy hands

racing heart

shivers

← there →

→ to here ←

knocking knees

sound like bees

buzzing in my ear…

instant chill

feeling ill

standing ends of

/ hair /

sweat runs cold

lose control

tripping over air…

mouth is dry

breath—a sigh,

eyes are fixed to ground

thoughts

~confused~

words refuse

.to form.

when you’re around…
