CRISIS SENSE by Anneken Hertzler

1–2 minutes
Locked onto the website locked onto me, trying to fill
a gap of information i travail ropes that tinker the command comes
too late, a shot rings out i disappear into
the body of one that walked beside me, once
the tears are instead a tenseness i cant
wring out of my self
my legs in particular crack starting from
a certain height but the conviction in me
that demands i climb then jump refuses
that crack

i am full of songs i dont satisfy and aches
i displace in search of other aches
bitter bigger better aches that fill
the part of me that knows nothing else i laugh
hoping to be laughed at laughed out
of my misery which i dare say
wont happen even now my eyes
genuinely burn, bright and weary
to type this as i am searching
a knowledge that can hale me
completely or in pieces

a distinction
i lack to make all of me
an acre of loss since something
on any patch of land grows
