Anxiety
A pit of spikes
A trench
fill with mustard gas.
A stiletto
between the ribs.
An acid drip
in the abdomen.
All of these,
but not so
pleasant.
A burning coal
in the mouth.
A shard of glass
in the foot.
A thorn
in the eye.
All of these,
but not so
endurable.
A patch
of nettles.
A leaf
of ivy or oak.
A bit
of the swarm.
All of these,
but not so
calming.
