My jaw clenches
My fingernails
Yearn to scratch
At layers of skin
My joints ache
Rigidity laced
Stand like a statue
Hold still, hold still
Breathe in slow
Hold… maybe
Forever if you can
Fix your stare
On a calmer future
Moments past this
Tick tick tick
Final loud tock
Exhale
Open your eyes
Look in the mirror
It was just a dream
You’re still here
You’re still here
HASTYWORDS 
A momentary dissolution captured.
