Panic
Up and out
On the high seas
Of Anxiety

I watch the band
Banging its drums
To a beat
Beaten
By the sound of my heart
Against my chest

The air excuses itself
Explores another body
Without mine to keep
Strung together
Like a violin
My tune has warped
Screeching for peace
A note of serenity

In the concerto of life and death
Breath and suffocation
Calm and terror
I have no control
And realize I never did
Until I sweep up my fear
Swallow it like a vintage
Whine
And fall off the wave
Back onto land
Where I can walk
Without fearing
More flights
