bespectacled

bee-buzzing

halos around my head

yet
stress
stress
stress

I look at the ceiling
A Neolithic stone
presses upon my sternum
bespectacled
bespectacled

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Daniel Brick 19 December 2017

There are some odd details of yoir appearance in the first lines but the point seems to be they only disguise the inner stress. The repetition of the word stress emphasizes its pervasiveness and nothing in your immediate location offers any help. At least words still can impose meaning on experience, even paralyzed moments.
