Now…now …

I read it to myself

And I shiver.

The raw wound in my chest shivers

Sends shocks of pain.

I grab my chest, half expecting it to be real

It isn’t, as my hand finds my chest in normal shape

And it isn’t that kind of pain either

This is more ethereal.

It’s roots branching out to moments

An entangled swirl of guilt, pleasure and pain. Laughter and crying. Regrets.

The hand massages the chest

It feels normal but seems in dispare.

The hand pats it and the mouth soothes it

“Now now “
