tension..

tension
expands like a balloon
but it never pops
it sits.
it sits in my chest and
blows into my heart like a child into a pinwheel
so it runs
my heart runs
on the spot
really fast.
the vibration moves my chest,
wanders right into my finger's tips.
and the room suddenly gets smaller,
smaller and smaller
until
it is just my heart running
on the spot
really fast
it propels me up
up up up
far away from my toes.
my head goes through the roof
and it's just my heart
running still
on the spot.

all it might take, is one breath.
in and out
to land safely back on my two feet.
