Every cell in this body
A hurricane of emotion
Every cell in this body
Kilometres of shredded rope
Every cell in this body
A light show
Every cell in this body
Wetlands of worry
Every cell in this body
Fractals of fear
Where did the fire go?
Who has the needle?
How strong was the thread?
This body a thimble
Surplus of cells wandering
Wondering
How
