DAY 6
Prompt – Pacing the Floor
* * *
27 steps, round way trip, 54,
with a detour, add 42,
maybe more.
Count them, tap them
with fingertips
and soundless word,
lip sync pantomime,
don’t let the panic free.
12, 13, 14, 15,
don’t forget to breathe.
Go round and round,
again,
once more.
Look up.
Everything is fine.
Full stop.
Everything is fine,
like it was before.

So clear and simple
Was I holding my breath?
Maybe, until that line.
