17.

Tiny spaces where things loosen...

I don't feel these

I can't find them

Are they there?

I feel my jaw clenched

I notice it throughout the day

I'm unaware I'm even doing it

Will my teeth be ground down?

Tension and contraction

My whole body feels tense

I catch my fists being clenched

When did that start?

Grief is everywhere

In my body

I can't relax

Will I ever be able to sleep again?

I'm standing on the edge

Of a cliff

If I let my body relax

Will I fall?

Can I bring softness to what is contracted?

It feels impossible
